Winter 2006 Seasonal Outlook for Grains/Oilseeds With Rich Feltes

Feb 02, 2006 12:00 p.m. CST

Rich Feltes, Vice President and Director of Research at Man Global Research, presents his outlook for the grain and oilseeds markets at mid-winter. He outlined the positive and negative factors ahead for the 2006/2007 crop, and felt the positives slightly outweighed the negatives. Bullish influences on the market include continued fund money flowing into commodity markets in general, as well as surging energy demand that has lifted prospects for ethanol and bio-diesel. Rich said capital has flowed into commodities partly because of historically above-average returns, and as an easy way to invest in China, a commodity-intensive economy. While this inflow has influenced price action, he said ultimately supply and demand will drive the markets. Rich discussed fundamental factors traders should watch going forward, including weather and Asian demand, and current expectations. He also offered a number of specific trade recommendations from Man Global Research.
