Joanna Schroeder reported on Renewable Fuels Association analysis of government data showing October US ethanol exports of 131.6 million gallons, the highest monthly volume since December 2011. Brazil was the top destination at 42.7 million gallons, and year-to-date exports reached 825.5 million gallons.

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.
