US Biofuels Update: Higher Soybean Oil Futures Trim Soybean's Losses

By

-- Biofuels feedstock futures closed mixed, with soybean oil higher and near contract highs, while soybean prices dropped.

The Chicago Board of Trade July soybean futures contract closed 0.23% lower at $11.89 per bushel, while the CBOT July soybean oil futures contract settled 1.19% higher at 72.52 cents per pound.

On Monday, the June ethanol futures contract on the Nymex ended 2.42% higher at $2.01 per gallon.

Rhett Montgomery, DTN analyst, said the soybean market is underpinned by surging soybean oil prices.

"In product markets, meal futures were just slightly lower (but well off the daily lows) following Monday's sharp move higher, which has since been attributed to rejected cargoes of Argentine meal in the Netherlands. Soybean oil was higher and once again knocking on the door of new contract highs," Montgomery said in a daily note.

Brazil's soybeans have a price advantage over those in the US on the export market, Montgomery said.

"However, US soybeans being among the most affordable they have been relative to Brazil in 2026 can't hurt ahead of key trade discussions when President Trump visits China in mid-May."
