Market insights

Agricultural commodity prices are driven by constantly changing environmental and political environments, and increasingly also by speculators.

During 2011, prices of wheat, corn, and other agricultural commodities soared as demand from an ever increasing global population continues in the face of poor harvests and, just as important for prices, the fear of failed harvests. But will it continue?

Each commodity is subject to different factors impacting its price from weather to political risk to pure speculation, and prices can be volatile.
