Demand strengthens soybean prices in early October
Soybean prices rose modestly in September and early October as new crop bids gained about 5 cents and futures rose 8 to 9 cents. Improved demand for soybean oil boosted U.S. oil usage and sent fat and oil prices higher, with carryover stocks at four-year lows. World sunflower supplies, especially from Eastern Europe and Russia, remain large, tempering longer term gains.
