The American Coalition for Ethanol urged Senate leaders to advance bipartisan legislation permitting nationwide, year-round E15 sales before the 119th Congress adjourns. The House passed E15 legislation in May, while recent nationwide summer waivers have allowed sales during summer months; ACE says E15 has saved motorists 20–30 cents per gallon on average this year.
Year-round E15 authorization could expand ethanol blending and support demand for corn, while competing with gasoline in the fuel market. Greater ethanol demand would be supportive for corn prices, though the effect depends on the legislation being enacted and implementation.
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.
