EIA data show US ethanol exports averaged 203,000 barrels per day last week, the highest in over a month, while production rose to 1.116 million barrels per day. Ethanol stocks were 26.053 million barrels, 981,000 below last year, and operating margins for Iowa plants improved.
Strong export demand and improving plant margins support corn grind for ethanol, which underpins corn demand and DDGS output.
After 729 past bullish trade events, Corn moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (56% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.8%), and +0.5% over 20.
