- Wednesday, May 15, 11:38 AM Agricultural commodity prices (DBA) could fall a big 13% over the next year, says Goldman, predicting bumper crops across the globe. With weak demand and a record South American harvest (CORN, SOYB, WEAT) already in the books, it would require a major weather shock in the U.S. to keep prices near current levels. Earlier: Deere tumbles as poor weather slows U.S. planting progress. Comment! [Commodities]

Friday, April 26, 4:24 PM
The week's ETF movers - Gainers: TAN +14.6%. XHB +6.2%. OIL +5.5%. USO +5.5%. PHYS +4.4%.
ETF Losers: VXX -5.8%. GAZ -5.3%. UNG -4.5%. DBA -1.0%. EPI -0.4%. Comment! [On the Move] - Thursday, April 25, 3:19 PM The flow of key farm products (DBA) to the world from North and South America, highlighted by congestion at Brazilian ports and limited selling of crops by U.S. farmers, will keep global grain supplies tight despite expectations for big harvests later this year, Bunge (BG +6.5%) says after its Q1 report showed a 16% jump in agribusiness sales to $10.77B. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, April 12, 3:01 PM It's "death bells" for commodities, says Citigroup, calling 2013 the year in which it's realized the commodity supercycle is over and a new era in which the relative performance of how "stuff" performs against each other and other assets is what matters. Specifically on oil, Citi calls Q1's move higher without merit and expects the recent downtick in prices to continue. 70 Comments [Commodities]
- Monday, April 8, 10:22 AM Speculators exited long commodity positions last week at the fastest pace since 2008, according to the CFTC. Of particular note is the quickest decline in agricultural holdings (DBA) ever, led by an exiting of corn (CORN) positions as the price dropped about $1/bushel. Comment! [Commodities]
- Thursday, February 14, 10:28 AM Agricultural commodities continue an underreported slide, with J.C. Parets noting corn is down for the 10th consecutive session. Earlier this week, the USDA estimated farm income in 2013 will be the highest in 40 years thanks to high prices. A weak harvest has little impact thanks to the use of crop-insurance programs. DBA -5.2%, CORN -4.4% YTD. 2 Comments [Commodities]

Friday, February 8, 6:17 PM
The week's ETF movers - Gainers: VNM +4.3%. FCG +2.3%. BNO +1.7%. UUP +1.4%. TLT +1.4%.
ETF Losers: FXI -4.7%. EPI -4.2%. GDXJ -3.3%. KOL -3.3%. DBA -2.7%. Comment! [On the Move] - Friday, February 8, 3:40 PM Beans (SOYB -2.6%) tumble as stronger Brazilian production has the USDA upping its forecast for ending stockpiles by a greater-than-expected 1.1% to 60.1M tons. Estimated corn (CORN -0.5%) inventories are raised 5% to a 632M bushels, but it's not enough to send prices lower as the level remains the lowest in the U.S. since 1995. Comment! [Commodities]
- Friday, January 11, 12:13 PM The inaugural midday release of the USDA's January crop report doesn't disappoint, with corn reversing early losses and now sharply green as Dec. 1 stocks come in at 8.03B bushels vs. expectations of 8.21B. Ending stocks are estimated at a slim 602M bushels vs. expectations of 667M. Beans are down after production came in higher than expected. Wheat jumps on lower-than-anticipated planted acres. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, January 3, 9:19 AM The grains continue a tough post-U.S. harvest run with news today of China cancelling another order - this one 11.6M bushels of American beans. In the meantime, better weather is improving prospects for South America's crops. Beans -1.1%, Corn -0.7%, Wheat -0.2%. Comment! [Commodities]
- Friday, December 21, 2012, 3:34 PM Not benefiting yet from QE∞ are commodities, the PowerShares Ag Fund (DBA) and Commodity Tracking Fund (DBC) both peaking right at the time of the Fed's September announcement. Since then, they're off 6-8%, and YTD badly lagging the S&P. 3 Comments [Commodities]
- Friday, December 21, 2012, 11:59 AM Brazil’s government go-ahead for Petrobras (PBR -3.6%) to raise its gasoline prices in early 2013 likely will raise demand for domestically produced sugar-based ethanol, but effects also could reach U.S. shores. Ethanol output in the U.S. is expected fall ~10% next year, and a robust export market could give Brazilian mills even more incentive to produce ethanol instead of sugar. 4 Comments [Energy, Global & FX, On the Move]
- Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 5:57 PM Phosphorus: The finite supply of it is why Jeremy Grantham predicts a grim future for much of the world's population. As production of the critical ingredient for fertilizer drops, so will crop yields, which will threaten the ability to feed the world's population. Grantham thinks the finite supply of fertilizer and limits of crop yields already are starting to affect food prices. 6 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX]
- Monday, December 3, 2012, 4:57 PM The commodity supercycle isn't over yet, writes Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, pointing to a contrarian RBA study arguing China's heavy consumption of key metals and oil is just getting underway. Consider how well the prices of these commodities have held up in 2012 despite slumping worldwide growth, especially in China. Toss in central banks printing away ... do you really want to sell commodities now? DBC +5% YTD. Comment! [Commodities]
- Monday, November 12, 2012, 12:47 PM The grains get a downgrade from Goldman following Friday's USDA report raising harvest estimates. Acknowledging continued tight supplies of corn and wheat, Goldman says "risks of critically tight soybean inventories continue to fade quickly." The grains are off sharply today: CORN -3.1%, SOYB -2.8%, WEAT -1.6%. Comment! [Commodities]
- Friday, November 9, 2012, 7:04 AM Corn could move up to the unheard level of $9-$10/bushel in 2013, says Morgan Stanley's Hussein Allidina. A few weak export numbers from the U.S. has left the market complacent, he says, but supplies remain super-thin and current prices aren't high enough to ensure there will be corn around until the next crop. CORN -7.9% over the last 90 days. 1 Comment [Commodities]
