The election results have increased uncertainty over whether Congress will approve year-round E15 sales and a new farm bill before the end of the year. A Renewable Fuels Association representative said lawmakers could either move the measures during the lame-duck session or postpone them until the new Congress takes office.

After 310 past bearish policy events, Corn moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.9%), and +0.6% over 20.
