The global biofuels industry is holding steady and pursuing new policies, with the EU considering raising ethanol blends to 20%. Biodiesel output keeps rising but producers are not benefiting from higher imports and stocks.
U.S. ethanol plants temporarily or permanently closed as prices plunged.
Potential EU blend increases and the U.S. E15 outlook could support future ethanol and corn demand. Current closures and weak prices limit near-term benefit to feedstock markets.
After 439 past neutral policy events, Corn moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.2%), and +1.1% over 20.
