Market Analysis

Apart from the price level, the volatility on the agricultural markets has increased noticeably in the past few years as well. The demand for grain and oilseeds has grown noticeably and almost always exceeded the output volume in the last years, which has reduced the stocks. Large harvests are necessary to cover the worldwide demand, otherwise the prices would rise to such a high level that demand would be restricted. Weather reports, harvest estimates, consumption and processing data, trade volumes and similar information are becoming more important in determining the prices in the daily business.
