The USDA May WASDE left U.S. soybean carryout and implied stock-to-use unchanged, and USDA revised its soybean oil balance sheets to align with EIA biofuel feedstock accounting. USSEC said the change gives a clearer view of soybean oil's importance to the renewable diesel sector.
The revised soybean oil balance sheet highlights strong biofuel demand for soy oil, supporting its price relative to meal. Unchanged soybean totals mean no new supply shock from the report.
