Interpreting Mid-Season Reports and Managing Volatility

USDA’s June 30th planted acres report sheds light on the reality of what’s in America’s fields (and decreases the amount of soybean acres by a couple million!). Two weeks later, the July 12th WASDE report gave us another batch of information. Between the two reports, commodities are down significantly from just a month ago. What does this mean for your marketing plan? Is now the time to cut your losses? Should you swing for the fences during the next little grain rally? Bryce Guse and Sean Findley, risk advisors with Silveus Financial explain what’s going on mid season and tell us why now isn’t the time to attempt the home run. The risk of loss in trading futures and/or options is substantial and each investor and/or trader must consider whether this is a suitable investment. Past performance, whether actual or indicated by simulated historical tests of strategies, is not indicative of future results.
