Biodiesel margins rise, but window of opportunity limited
Biodiesel margins continued to rise during the week to Friday November 22. The bean oil/heating oil (BOHO) spread boosted margins by falling to its lowest level since August 27.
Trading was quiet out of the EU this week with no trading reported. North American activity picked up with two containers of runners reported at $1.12. Strong slaughter in the US market may explain the $0.03 drop from September highs. Sources have indicated that asking prices for Chinese material continues to rise, but thus far there has not been any impact on the EU or NA retail market.
