D’Arce McMillan, The Western Producer markets editor, monitors trends in the North American and global agricultural markets. Each week he hosts three markets videos, oilseeds, cereals, and livestock. The videos are designed to help viewers understand the forces responsible for changes in the trade.
If agricultural markets are important to you, we have you covered.
Oilseeds:
It’s no surprise that in oilseed markets it’s all about the weather these days.
After a runup in crop prices sparked by dry weather in the western Prairies and excess moisture in parts of the Midwest, the market appears to be consolidating and awaiting the next phase in weather developments.
Cereals:
Grain markets in the last week have been driven by the weather and stronger that expected consumption of U.S. old crop corn.
Livestock:
Weaker beef demand means that cattle supply and packer demand has evened out and fed cattle prices are falling from the record highs in June.
