EIA data show US biodiesel production fell to 146 million gallons in October, about one million gallons below September. Soybean oil remained the largest feedstock at 577 million pounds, down from 604 million in September.
Softer biodiesel output reduces soybean oil demand from the biofuel sector, a modest bearish factor for soyoil and the soybean crush margin.
After 146 past bearish report events, Soybean Oil moved a median -0.0% over 5 sessions (49% higher; middle half -1.8% to +1.9%), and +0.4% over 20.
