U.S. ethanol production averaged 1.143 million barrels per day in the week ending October 30, up from 1.118 million the prior week and the highest level since January 9. Ethanol inventories fell to 24.434 million barrels from 24.523 million, while most of the production increase came from Midwestern plants.
Higher output and falling inventories indicate active ethanol processing and continued corn use, strengthening near-term corn demand. The increase is a supportive demand signal, though it is a weekly data point rather than a major supply shock.
