US soybean futures fell to their lowest in nearly two months and corn hit a near one-month low on Friday, with soyoil down more than 5%. Reports said the EPA will recommend lowering federal biofuel blending mandates for 2021 below 2020 levels, while boosting the 2022 mandates above recent years.
Wheat also fell, with CBOT December down about 14 cents.
Lower biofuel blending mandates reduce demand for soyoil and corn used in ethanol, which is a major shift for these markets. The expected cut points to bearish pressure on soyoil and corn, though the stronger 2022 outlook limits the downside.
