Soybean futures fell 1.2% on March 27, 2026 to $11.75 1/2 a bushel after the EPA finalized 2026-27 renewable fuel obligations, which were widely expected. The rule requires biodiesel and renewable diesel volumes to rise over 60% from 2025, and it halves RINs for foreign feedstocks starting in 2028.
Higher biofuel mandates support soybean oil and crush demand over time, but the expected rule produced a sell-the-news reaction, and the foreign-feedstock RIN cut limits the bullish effect.
