In an October 19 letter to lawmakers, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt said the agency will keep 2018 renewable fuel volumes at or above proposed levels. The EPA also dropped plans to allow exported ethanol to count toward quotas and rejected shifting the blending obligation from refiners.

Keeping biofuel volumes at or above proposed levels supports demand for soybean oil and corn used for ethanol, which is bullish for those prices. Ending the uncertainty over the RFS removes a major downside risk for vegetable oils.
