The Trump administration is reportedly considering reallocating biofuel volumes lost to small-refinery waivers, now totaling 4.03 billion ethanol-equivalent gallons. Several biodiesel plants have closed as a result, and Trump is set to meet EPA and USDA leaders on options.
A possible reallocation would restore biofuel demand for soybean oil and corn, which would be supportive for those prices, but the outcome is uncertain.
After 842 past bullish policy events, Soybean Oil moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.6% to +2.1%), and -0.5% over 20.
After 318 past bullish policy events, Corn moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.5%), and -0.2% over 20.
