Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue told farmers at Commodity Classic that he fully supports the Renewable Fuel Standard and will not back policies that diminish corn demand. He spoke amid reports of a White House discussion on changing RIN mandates.
Perdue's firm backing reduces the risk of RFS cuts that would weaken corn and soybean oil demand, though uncertainty over RIN policy keeps some risk in biofuel-linked feedstock prices.
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.
After 196 past neutral policy events, Soybean Oil moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.6% to +2.0%), and -0.5% over 20.
