Marquis Energy's CEO says that a resumption of Chinese purchases of U.S. ethanol could ease the farm economy. China has tariffs of about 70% on U.S. ethanol and fees on DDGS, which have choked demand since April.
Renewed Chinese ethanol buying would absorb surplus U.S. output and lift corn and DDGS demand. The idea is still speculative, so near-term price impact is limited.
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.
