US ethanol production rose 10,000 barrels per day to 1.014 million last week, the sixth straight weekly gain, but remained 54,000 below a year earlier. Stocks climbed 775,000 barrels to 21.874 million.

After 1,102 past bearish report events, CORN moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.8% to +1.3%), and +0.0% over 20.
