The current conditions in agricultural commodities have created much volatility in
the grain markets. In anticipation of the June 30 USDA 2011 Acreage report,
please join us in a discussion of the summer's grain prospects and the impact
of the recent weather crises.
The discussion will also include a trader's perspective on the new Weekly Grain
Options, which provide opportunities to trade high impact events?such as USDA
reports and weather conditions. Since their launch on May 23, Weekly Corn,
Soybean and Wheat options have traded more than 40,000 contracts, including a
record 7,080 the day before the June 9 USDA Crop Production report.
Topics include:
- Perspectives on acreage
- Current weather trends
- 2011 yield potential and price outlook
- Capitalizing on opportunities with Weekly Grain Options
