On July 15th, Futures News reported that soybean oil futures on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) closed lower on Tuesday, with the benchmark contract down 0.7%, mainly reflecting the unwinding of oil-meal arbitrage. Traders said the unwinding of the soybean oil-sell-soybean-meal arbitrage put pressure on the soybean oil market. Improved conditions for the U.S. soybean crop and the potential easing of high temperatures in the Midwest next week also weighed on the soybean and soybean oil markets. However, stronger international crude oil futures limited the downside for soybean oil. The National Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA) will release its monthly crush report on Thursday.
