On the Corn front, the USDA said the U.S. corn and soybean harvest are officially over. As you can see, I share my price and volume assumptions, cost assumptions based on that volume, price of corn, as well as SG&A and other costs. While in parts of the country might still have corn and soybean to harvest, statistically, the season is over. There are whispers of more corn sales to the unknown, while commercials and funds rollout of December to March contracts, with the funds net-long and the commercials net-short.
Ethanol has been a big source of demand for domestic corn, even though sharply curbed by global fuel consumption. I have already witnessed a variety of speculation longs for 2021 in corn and soybeans to date. In the overnight electronic session, the December corn is currently trading at 417 ½ which is 9 cents lower. USDA said that Winter Wheat is now 89% emerged, from 85% last week, 96% last year, and 88% average. The market in Russia has remained high on limited supply as farmer hold the Wheat back due to the drought.
Overnight News: The southern Great Plains should get dry weather.

A weaker U.S. dollar may also make emerging markets more competitive. Nonetheless, Sumo Logic’s dollar-based net retention rate has fluctuated between approximately 120% and 135%, which is quite satisfactory as far as SaaS stocks go. The U.S. Dollar Index is down more than 3% year-to-date.
Metals
The earnings of the firms are highly tied to the prices of silver and when silver rallies, SLVP tends to outpace the strength of the gains seen. SLVP’s returns are highly correlated and responsive to price appreciation in silver – if silver rallies, SLVP tends to outpace the rally. Source: TradingView In my opinion, this pullback in price represents a strong buying opportunity – silver prices are falling, and the underlying fundamental thesis for silver remains strong.
The iShares MSCI Global Silver and Metals Miners ETF is an ETP which is following the MSCI ACWI Select Silver Miners Investable Market Index. For example, on average, when we see silver rally by around this much in a given year, the next year averages a return of 32%. This tends to lead to investors shifting funds into silver at higher rates than other times of the year, which can be seen in the above data. Source: Author’s calculations of LMBA data This shows a very clear trend in that the start of the year tends to see uplift in the price of silver.
In the article, titled “Gold Is a Hedge Against Bad Government Decisions,” Dillian argues that investors mistakenly believe that gold is a hedge against inflation and stock market crashes. An additional metric which I believe is suggestive of higher silver prices in the coming months is the clear seasonality present in the data. Silver is likely going to rally over the coming 3-12 months due to momentum and seasonal effects.
Specifically, I believe that silver miners are going to shine over the next year and that a purchase now is a solid move. #JPMorgan Pays A KICK BACK aka BRIBE To #CFTC For Manipulation of #Gold & #Silver Prices. It specifically targets companies which are highly dependent on silver prices for earnings and includes securities across the market capitalization spectrum.

Within the silver miner ETP space, SLVP is one of the lesser followed ETFs with most of the market share going to the popular Global X competitor SIL.
For example, across this broad dataset, we have seen silver rally in about 63-65% of all Januaries and Februaries in the data. One of the major fundamental themes I monitor in the silver markets is momentum: past strength tends to beget future strength. All this said, let’s turn our attention to the silver market fundamentals to attempt to assess where prices are likely headed. Historically speaking, when silver has rallied by this amount over a year, the odds tend to support further upside.
What this tells me is that historically speaking at least, SLVP tends to be a very strong option for playing a rally in silver.

The dividend return may well become of more consequence in the future, but in the current market environment (super low-interest rate, Fed backstop, pandemic, etc.) Although it’s hard to remember, before Trump came along, the media would at least occasionally report rather objectively about actual news, both foreign and domestic.
