Farm-state ethanol producers, major oil companies and convenience store owners have jointly backed permanent year-round E15 sales. They are urging the Senate to pass the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act (H.R.
1346) during the lame-duck session ending December 18, after the House passed it 218–203 in May.
Year-round E15 sales would expand the retail market for ethanol in summer months, supporting ethanol demand and corn use. Passage in the Senate is still uncertain, so the price effect is limited for now.
After 328 past bullish policy events, Corn moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.3%), and -0.2% over 20.
