Looking at conditions in the futures market, the analysts had this say:
Of all reported transactions this week, more than a quarter were designated as forwards or long-term contracts, the highest proportion yet observed by our analysts and price reporters in the field. While there are a variety of reasons to enter into forward arrangements – for example securing supply or price, ensuring quality or specific genetics, hedging risk, etc. – this suggests the continuing maturation of the industry towards commercial scale practices deployed in other agricultural commodity markets. … This week’s distribution of forwards was 7% outdoor, 11% greenhouse and 82% indoor. The average forward deal was 18.9 pounds.
Implied forward prices are now expected to reach their six-month peak in March at $1,750 a pound. The six-month low is expected to be $1,500 in November.
