PM Post - Liquidation then Consolidation

THE OPEN Nov beans:  2 higher Dec meal:  .90 lower Dec soyoil:  50 higher Dec corn:  1 higher  Dec wheat:  2 lower The markets opened as expected but it was downhill again from there as the soy complex turned red and corn made new lows.  Funds continue to liquidate out of length before the report and as harvest resumes.  Buy corn/sell wheat and flip-flopping in oilshare were dominant features of trade.  Into the midday hour, prices turned higher from lower signaling the kick-off to a possible congestion phase into report time.

Illuminating the value of technical research

On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
