About two-thirds of the past week’s transactions occurred in a range of $1,453 to $2,430 per pound.
Looking at conditions in the futures market, the analysts had this say:
With the U.S. Spot Index experiencing relative stability for six consecutive weeks after a volatile start to July, and with improving clarity regarding the forthcoming supply surge, weather conditions remain the principal uncertainty in the months ahead. … While weather forecasts for October and November may change between now and then, at least some of the recent stability in the forward market may be attributed to the lack of severe natural disasters and weather conditions relative to this time last year.
Implied forward prices are now expected to reach their six-month peak in February at $1,750 a pound. The six-month low is expected to be $1,525 in November.
