Soybean oil closed limit up and soybeans soared after the EPA announced higher RVOs, lifting 2026 biomass-based diesel blending to 5.61 billion gallons. The June WASDE left new-crop ending stocks unchanged at 295 million bushels and old-crop at 350 million.
The higher biofuel mandate boosts soyoil demand and crush economics, while unchanged WASDE balance sheets leave the supply outlook steady.
