Pause in publication of US agricultural products price assessments

Fastmarkets will not publish any price assessments for corn, soybean, Americas vegoils and meals, or US wheat, on Wednesday June 19.

This was due to the Juneteenth holiday in the US and the consequent closure for the day of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME).

As a result, Fastmarkets’ assessment of soybean crush margins will also not be released on Wednesday.

Normal service will resume on June 20.

For more information, or to provide feedback on the publication of these assessments, or if you would like to provide price information by becoming a data submitter to these assessments, please contact Masha Belikova by email at: pricing.ags@ fastmarkets.com. Please add the subject heading “FAO: Masha Belikova, re: US agricultural products price assessments.”

Please indicate if comments are confidential. Fastmarkets will consider all comments received and will make comments not marked as confidential available upon request.
