Weekly ethanol production was down, week over week, by 1.4% and up by 1.6% year over year.

In its weekly update, the U.S. Grains Council noted DDGS indications were higher again this week. "Market stakeholders report a mostly quiet market this week. DDGS indications for FOB vessel Gulf are down slightly from last week, while July delivery is becoming harder to find. Indications for 40-foot containers to Southeast Asia recovered from last week's drop, increasing $3/mt on average. Merchandisers report continued interest from Indonesia and Vietnam, and new sales to South Korea (August delivery), new sales to Indonesia and continued strong interest from buyers in Vietnam."
