Market Commentary

By Matt Herrington for Ag Perspectives

Ag commodities started the day higher with corn leading the way on a short covering rally.

The weekend weather looks broadly favorable with precipitation across the bulk of the Corn Belt and modest temperatures. Beyond that, however, the forecast turns warmer and drier in the six-10 and eight-14-day forecasts. Notably, the beleaguered eastern Corn Belt is forecast to be drier than normal beyond next week.

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.
