USDA's latest balance sheet keeps the 2022-23 US soybean balance unchanged, but cuts the soyoil export forecast by 200 million pounds on weak commitments. Soyoil ending stocks were raised to 1.9 billion pounds after the EPA finalized 2023-25 biomass-based diesel targets and a canola oil pathway.
Higher soyoil ending stocks signal ample domestic supply and weaker export demand, which is bearish for soyoil prices and limits support for the crush margin.
