Futures Market Dashboard

Here it is. Our simple, but extremely popular template, to keep an eye on futures markets. Just select the product of your choice and the most active contracts will start streaming right into your dashboard. View multiple products at a time and get a view of the current forward curve - which streams updates directly into the chart.

I’d tell you more about it, but it’s really that simple.

Cash Forward and Basis Seasonality Monitor

Users of this workbook are able to perform powerful analysis of historical basis trends for any relevant growing area within the United States. We provide users with a pre-built template to chart current cash forward prices against historical averages to identify areas where grain is relative “lean” or “rich” in terms of basis pricing.

Users can view year-by-year seasonality for the grain buying region of their choice and understand where the current year is tracking relative to historical patterns. Additionally, users can create forward models for the current year based on user-defined projections using historical basis patterns.

Advanced users can create a custom historical average window to exclude “abnormal” growing conditions in years past. For the most ambitious users, the integration of yield forecast information and historical production data from cmdty Statistics is possible.

Tools for Ag Media (Basis Analysis)

Writing about what’s going on in agriculture isn’t easy. We’re here to make it easier. We provide users with simple access to real-time basis values at the State, Region, and National level for corn and soybeans. Not only that, we’ve gone to the trouble of calculating historical averages, so understanding where current basis sits relative to seasonality patterns is as simple as opening-up the workbook. Here are examples of insights that our tool generates automatically for users:

  • The cmdty National Corn Basis Index has increased by 2.58c in the past month, and is 15.38c higher than it was one year ago.

  • Premiums between the Eastern and Western regions are decreasing slightly (-1c) and are up to 21.7c from a year ago (17.5c)

  • Based on historical seasonality trends we typically see basis weaken by about 14% heading into next month
