Biofuels: Last week, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the US Department of Energy reported a sharp increase in ethanol stocks, and analysts polled by Dow Jones believe stocks have continued to rise. According to their estimates, ethanol stocks in the reporting week rose to 21 million barrels, and, if forecasts are correct, their volume returned to March levels. In the previous week, inventories jumped more than 640,000 barrels to 20.6 million barrels. Meanwhile, analysts believe that ethanol production in the reporting week rose by 20,000 barrels per day to 1.045 million barrels per day. The EIA report, which will be released later on Wednesday, may influence estimates of the outlook for corn demand.
