Soybean oil futures rallied more than 6% on Friday January 10, with the March contract settling at $0.4558 per lb, its highest settlement in two months. The move followed a weaker dollar, firmer energy prices, and the USDA's January WASDE, which raised 2024/25 US soybean oil production and exports for a second month.
Partial 45Z tax credit guidance was also anticipated.
A larger export forecast combined with a smaller biofuel allocation tightens domestic supply, supporting soybean oil prices and feedstock demand for meal and oil buyers.
