Spot ethanol prices gained Thursday as corn futures on the Chicago Board of Trade hover near a six-week high and RBOB futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange gains with crude oil and following strong demand reported Wednesday by the Energy Information Administration.
EIA also reported a 1.9% drawdown in domestic ethanol stocks for last week, albeit from a record high, and improving demand for blending, which averaged 883,000 bpd or 4.0% above year prior during the four weeks ended March 11.
