據ICIS網站5月13日休斯頓報道 美國燃料乙醇價格本周擴大，因為燃料需求繼續上升。

美國農業部（USDA）公布的5月份世界農業供需預測報告顯示，目前玉米產量創歷史新高，出口增加，期末庫存增加。

美國種植的玉米約有40-50%用于乙醇生產。

燃料乙醇庫存一周比一周下降，表明隨著各州陸續恢復，推動需求再次回升。

US fuel ethanol spot prices widen as inventories fall, demand rises

US fuel ethanol prices widened this week, as fuel demand continues to rise.

The US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) outlook for the current corn crop is for record high production, greater exports and larger ending stocks according to the May World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimate (WASDE) report.

About 40-50% of corn grown in the US goes into ethanol production.

Inventories of fuel ethanol fell week on week, indicating driving demand is picking up again as states continue to reopen.
