# [Biodiesel Weekly Review]: Overseas Market Supports Ester-Based Prices, Hydrocarbon-Based Prices Pull Back; Thin-Margin Pattern for Biodiesel Continues (20261106-1112)

> In the week of November 6-12, 2026, China's waste cooking oil traded at 6,050-6,200 yuan/tonne and swill oil at 6,850-7,050 yuan/tonne. Domestic HVO/SAF plants reduced feedstock purchases, while ester-based biodiesel was flat week on week at $1,220/tonne.

## Why it matters

Weak domestic HVO/SAF feedstock demand and flat biodiesel prices keep the sector's margins thin, limiting pull on fats and oils used in feed such as yellow grease and tallow. Overseas support for ester prices offers only limited upside.
