Craze for Biofuel Causes Grain Prices to Soar / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities

By: Joseph_Dancy

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAs the dynamic economies of China, India, and Asia continue to expand the size of their middle class – and the population in these areas continues a large scale migration to the major cities – global demand for basic foodstuffs has increased significantly over the last decade. A recent swine virus has adversely impacted Chinese herds, and globally meats and grain inventories are in short supply compared to historical levels.

Meanwhile, biofuels continue to make inroads in the developed countries. The cost of the biofuel feedstock – corn in many cases – has risen with demand. The cost of alternative grains such as wheat and soybeans has also increased.

Rising Demand for Corn As a Biofuel and From Asia / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities

By: Ned_W_Schmidt

Agri-Food commodities are an essential part of our lives. Nearly every hour of our waking day we come in contact with something derived from corn. We eat it, drink products made from it, write on paper made with starch, and are now trying to fuel our cars with it. However, competition for corn has greatly increased. Rising consumer demand, driven by expanding incomes in China, and an attempt to expand biofuel production have driven prices up from about $1.75 a bushel two years ago. Will the price of corn soon take out the most recent high? Will state bird of Nebraska be changed to the Lexus?

By: Ned_W_Schmidt

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticlePreparing comments on any investment topic day before FOMC announces U.S. interest rate policy is probably a futile gesture. That the announcement comes on Halloween provides an opportunity for cutesy comments which will be avoided. However according to the UN FAO, the world consumed 18.774 million tonnes of pumpkins, squash and gourds in the latest reporting year.

A Breakfast Buffet of Profits From Agricultural Commodities / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities

By: Money_and_Markets

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleSean Brodrick writes : When I was learning this business, I sometimes used to have breakfast with an old trader. During a big selloff, he would always remind me that great stocks get dumped along with the stocks that deserve it.

My old mentor has since gone up to the great trading floor in the sky. Meanwhile, I've noticed breakfast has gotten a lot more expensive over the last few years.

As disturbing as that is, it is 100% bullish for grain prices, especially given soaring worldwide demand for agricultural products.

AGRI-FOOD THOUGHTS - Food and Energy Are the Most Important Consumer Products / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities

By: Ned_W_Schmidt

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleImagine owning a company where consumers have no choice but to buy the firm's product. Consumers have no choice but to buy food. The choice is not between a new cell phone or food. Consumers buy their food first, and then consider other products. Despite the nonsense put out by economists at the Federal Reserve and other centers of misinformation, food and energy are the most important components of the consumers' spending basket.

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleLarry Edelson writes: On July 26, I told you the dollar's demise was going to dramatically affect you in myriad ways, not the least of which would be soaring commodity prices — especially gold — and falling stock prices.

Then, on August 23, I said the second phase of the inflationary commodity boom was about to explode higher, as the subprime mortgage crisis hit the U.S. economy hard, and that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke would flood the economy with paper money.

Stagflation-Proof Yourself with Agriculture Commdodity Investments / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities

By: Michael_Pento

In addition to monetary inflation, which I wrote about in part one of this series, another well known-driver for the higher prices in agricultural commodities has been the use of corn for the production of ethanol. That increase in the intrinsic value of corn has translated into higher prices for other agricultural commodities because land replanted for the growing of maize means less available for the production of wheat, soybeans, cotton, etc.

Soybeans October Market Secret / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities

By: George_Kleinman

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleToday I plan to share with you this market “secret”: Soybeans exhibit a very strong tendency to form a seasonal price bottom during the month of October. This bottoming tendency is the result of harvest selling pressure because many farmers sell their crop right out of the fields to generate cash.

This year, with soybean prices relatively high, this market behavior could be even more pronounced than usual. After the harvest selling pressure subsides, the soybean market usually exhibits a profitable post-harvest rally trading opportunity.

AGRI-FOOD THOUGHTS - China Consumer Boom Means Higher Soft Commodity Prices / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities

By: Ned_W_Schmidt

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAs incomes rise in China and India, their consumers will dictate prices for oil and food. Their preferences are setting relative prices of nearly all commodities. These preferences have shifted to reflect their higher incomes, and will continue to do so. Chart below portrays per capita consumption of beef and rice by Chinese consumers, per UN FAO. Beef is now a preferred item on the menu at Chinese homes. Magnifying this shift is number of consumers in China and India. Such preference shifts have caused prices of grains and meats around world to rise. Higher beef consumption means raising more beef. Raising more beef means using more grain. More grain is consumed to feed the beef than is freed up from eating less rice. Agri-Food growth cycle that has emerged is really that simple.

Grain Bull Market - The Cartel in Your Cupboard / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities

By: Money_and_Markets

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleSean Brodrick writes :Russia has asked Australia (among others) to join a group of grain-exporting nations that would seek to regulate production, much as OPEC regulates the production of crude oil.

An OPEC of grain sounds a bit odd. Visions of sheiks riding camels through Kansas wheat fields immediately come to mind. But Russia knows there is a lot of money to be made from grains. Fortunately, if you make the right moves, you also stand to reap profits as high as an elephant's eye.

Agricultural Commodities The Next Great Inflation Hedge / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities

By: Michael_Pento

The best way to protect your wealth from the ravages of inflation is to invest in a tangible asset whose supply cannot be increased at the same rate as the currency it is being measured in. Even better is to invest in an asset with growing demand and limited supply whose intrinsic value is increasing.
