APPROACH

We all go through a process to make a pricing-decision. My job is to become your in-house research analyst, so that you have the best fundamental information to do your job better.

Everybody can access generic information and government or weather reports at the same time. What differentiates the research and distinguishes me are the contacts, style, delivery, approach and detail that are not readily available. There is so much information out there, but by focusing on what really matters and by leveraging observations, trends & opinion, decisions can then be made with confidence and less on emotion.

Durum: May 15-13

Last week, Algeria bought 175,000t of option origin durum at US $370/t for July shipment. This is the first transparent new crop world durum price signal. Algeria is considered the most competitive and often lower priced destination for durum. Grabbing 1.5-2 MMT of durum per year from global trade of 7-7.5 MMT, Algeria is major buyer.

World durum prices were US $400-415/t during Aug-Jan. That’s what frequently generated the high 7’s to low 8’s/bu bids in Saskatchewan. Mid $8’s occurred when volume driven initiates crimped grain handling margins.

Implications and recommendations has been researched. I can be reached by
