US soybean futures end lower, backpedals from earlier gains on less-threatening weather and speculative profit-taking.

China Said to Have Kept Cooking-Oil Price Caps as Inflation Accelerates (Source: Bloomberg)
China, the world’s biggest consumer of vegetable oils, is maintaining caps on prices and hasn’t announced plans to sell from state stockpiles, according to two people briefed on the government’s policy. The government controls prices through private accords with suppliers, said the people, who declined to be identified because they aren’t authorized to speak to the media. The caps have been removed, the Quanzhou Evening News reported July 17, citing an unidentified government official. A call to the newspaper seeking comment yesterday wasn’t immediately returned. “The government clearly has no intention to loosen its grip on the market,” said Tommy Xiao, an analyst at Shanghai JC Intelligence Co. Inflation in China has breached the government’s 4 percent ceiling every month this year, with consumer prices rising 6.4 percent in June from a year earlier, the fastest pace in three years. The central bank raised interest rates five times since October to stem the gains.
