US animal fat prices stable; Canada rail strike begins amid uncertain market expectations

US animal fat prices stable; Canada rail strike begins amid uncertain market expectations

The US animal fats and oils markets were stable across the board on Thursday August 22, as end-of-summer buying remained relatively sluggish.

But there was considerable discussion in the used cooking oil (UCO) market on Thursday, with sources suggesting that Gulf UCO prices are stronger than represented by the bottom side of the market, but actual transacted volume into the Gulf market was non-existent.

Sources have reported that lower priced soybean oil may be pushing some sellers to buy in soybean oil for their next position while selling out of low-carbon intensity (CI) positions, while others have said, “you can’t find anyone to sell below 46 [cents per lb] into the Gulf market.”

Meanwhile, choice white grease (CWG) prices were assessed as stable in the FOB Missouri River market at 43-45 cents per lb, with trading heard done throughout the day at 44 cents per lb.
