The U.S. ethanol supply is the largest in nearly a year.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration says domestic stocks are the biggest in the last 50 weeks at 26.051 million barrels, an increase of 29,000 on the week and 731,000 on the year.
The Renewable Fuels Association says demand indicators were friendly, with net inputs of ethanol purchased by refiners and blenders and the volume of gasoline supplied to the market both at 10-week highs, while ethanol exports were up from the previous week.
