# US soybean oil stocks fall to lowest level in nearly 12 years

> U.S. soybean oil inventories totaled 660,000 tonnes at the end of September, down 17% year over year and the lowest level since December 2014. Strong biodiesel and renewable-diesel demand, alongside September soybean crush falling to a 13-month low, contributed to the decline; analysts cautioned that some stocks may not be captured in official figures.

## Why it matters

Low reported stocks and strong biofuel consumption tighten available soybean oil supplies, supporting soybean oil prices. Slower crushing may also constrain soybean meal output, though the article’s main supply signal is for oil.
