Research
Advance Trading employs full-time market analysts to support customers and brokers with fundamental economic analysis for grains, oilseeds and livestock products. The strength of our analysis comes from working closely with our merchandising consultants to help create opportunities for our customers. Our philosophy is centered on fundamental economic analysis. We gather information from our producer marketing branches, commercial customers and network of contacts worldwide. We are able to develop well-reasoned "what if" supply/demand scenarios to keep risk management decisions objective. A cornerstone product of our group is an analysis of storage space. By incorporating our knowledge of supply and demand factors, we can help warehousemen maximize return on their storage space facilities.
Fundmental Grain & Oilseed and Livestock Reviews are emailed to customers weekly. Special reviews are also sent out after major USDA reports. Advance Trading market analysts also regularly conduct outlook presentations for customers. These meetings are designed to highlight the latest supply and demand trends and provide an opportunity to share the latest risk management strategy recommendations. Outlook presentations and consulting are provided as needed.
