DTN Weekly Average DDG Price Lower
OMAHA (DTN) -- The domestic distillers dried grains (DDG) weekly average spot price from the 40 locations DTN contacted was down $4, at $130 per ton, for the week ended Aug. 15. Prices moved lower after the limit-down close in corn Monday and the additional losses on Tuesday and Wednesday, as well as losses in the soymeal market pressuring feed prices.
The Energy Information Administration reported midweek that ethanol inventory in the U.S. was higher for the week ended Aug. 9, rising for the sixth time in seven weeks, while domestic plant production continued higher.
Based on the average of prices collected by DTN, the value of DDG relative to corn for the week ended Aug. 15 was at 100.90% versus the two-year average of 107.00%. The value of DDG relative to soybean meal was at 44.51%. The cost per unit of protein for DDG was $4.81, compared to the cost per unit of protein for soybean meal at $6.14.
In its weekly export DDGS update, the U.S. Grains Council stated, "Merchandisers note there is still some elevation for September shipments out of the Gulf, but expectations are that elevations will tighten like they have so far in August. Prices for DDGS CIF NOLA barge are near $169 per metric ton (MT) for September while FOB Gulf values are slightly lower at $187/MT for the same month. Prices for 40-foot containers to southeast Asia are slightly lower this week at $230/MT."
