The Renewable Fuels Association sent a letter to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin urging the agency to promptly deny a request from the governors of Alabama and Louisiana for a general waiver of 2027 Renewable Fuel Standard blending requirements. The RFA argues the governors have not shown severe economic harm and that ethanol blending is reducing consumer gas prices.
If EPA granted the waiver, ethanol blending demand and corn-based ethanol output could fall, weakening corn and ethanol demand. The RFA's opposition makes a near-term waiver less likely, so the price impact is limited for now.
After 439 past neutral policy events, Corn moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.2%), and +1.1% over 20.
