Soybean oil rose after a court ruling, according to DTN's end-of-day market wrap dated July 28, 2017. Corn, soybeans and wheat closed mixed to slightly higher on the day but were lower for the week, with heavy Midwest rain forecasts and weak export sales weighing on grains.
A court ruling that lifts soybean oil suggests a policy-related support for biofuel demand, which tends to firm soyoil prices and the soy crush margin. The rest of the complex is being driven by weather and seasonal export slowdowns rather than this ruling.
