# European biodiesel premiums fall to six month lows  : The Daily Digest

> European biodiesel premiums fell to six-month lows last week, with FAME 0 at $432/ton and RME at $450.25/ton, following lower vegetable oil prices. Low Rhine river levels limited loading to about 800 tons on Monday, so product stocks in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp region could not move.

## Why it matters

Weak biodiesel premiums and stranded stocks point to softer soybean oil and rapeseed oil demand in Europe. The Rhine low-water constraint is restricting physical flows and keeping regional prices under pressure.
