USDA forecasts a record U.S. soybean crush for the current marketing year, at 2.78 billion bushels, up more than 5% from last year. More than half of domestic soybean oil consumption is expected to go to biofuel production.
Strong crush supports soybean meal and oil demand and farm basis values, with biofuel mandates acting as a firm pull on soybean oil prices.
