Market Commentary: Ag Futures Fall; Bears Trying to Run Away with Market

By Matt Herrington for Ag Perspectives

The CBOT was broadly lower on Wednesday with fund selling and a lack of bullish news or inputs pushing values into the red.

Communicating importance of value-added products

Facing increasing pressure to quantify the value of export promotion efforts to investors, a U.S. industry organization retained WPI to develop a quantitative model that better communicated the importance of exports. The resulting model concluded that value-added meat exports contributed $0.45 cents per bushel to the price of corn, increasing support for that sector’s financial support of WPI’s client. In addition to serving the red meat industry with this type of analysis, WPI has generated similar deliverables for the U.S. soybean and poultry/egg industries.
