In its weekly export DDGS update, the U.S. Grains Council noted, "DDGS markets are quiet this week with the New Year's holiday dampening trading activity. Merchandisers report that between the holiday, staff vacations, and no significant logistics issues, markets are thinly traded and prices are mostly in-line with the prior two week's values. Indications for January DDGS FOB NOLA are steady while offers for February and March are down $1/MT from last week. Conversely, prices for 40-foot containers to Southeast Asia are up $1/MT for deferred months, while spot values are unchanged at $246/MT."
