In the futures market, Cannabis Benchmarks noted:
Forward deals remain relatively rare during this pre-harvest period. Buyers in California are reportedly pre-purchasing entire crops from willing cultivators, while other buyers are starting to coalesce operations to ensure supply. In Colorado, buyer desperation is subsiding; yet it is still a seller’s market. However, unlike a few weeks ago, the power of the supplier is diminishing as sellers are less able to dictate price.
