Many US animal fats and oils markets continued to strengthen on Thursday February 13, although some sources expressed mixed sentiment on current fundamentals.
Spot and front-month used cooking oil (UCO) prices in the Gulf Coast region increased to 52.0-52.5 cents per lb delivered, extending the week’s upward momentum.
