The Renewable Fuels Association urged the EPA to reject Alabama and Louisiana governors’ requests for waivers from the 2027 Renewable Fuel Standard. RFA argued that waivers would remove lower-cost ethanol from the fuel market and undermine demand for farmers’ crops.
If granted, the waivers could reduce mandated ethanol blending and weaken corn demand; rejection would preserve that demand. The requests create some downside risk for ethanol and corn, but no waiver has been approved.

Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
