U.S. ethanol is described as steady, but exports fell below 200 million gallons in April, with declines to Canada and the EU outweighing gains to South Korea. Inventories tightened marginally and India pushed ahead with higher ethanol blending.
The piece draws on the June WASDE and RFA export data.
Weaker export demand for ethanol trims the outlet for corn, though steady domestic use limits the impact. India's higher blending mandate could over time reduce its import needs for U.S. product.
After 683 past bearish trade events, Corn moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.6%), and +0.3% over 20.
