Farm futures forward curve data reveals deferred

Farm Futures forward curve data reveals deferred corn contracts trading at a premium, signaling market expectations for tighter supplies later in the year. Seasonal hedging strategies may become more attractive for producers. Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. Duxton Farms insiders own about AU$16m worth of shares. That equates to 33% of the company. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment. Control a larger notional value for a relatively small amount of money, enhancing your buying power. Energy sector correlation analysis indicates a strong linkage between crude oil rallies and renewed grain buying interest in futures markets.
