    ....these commodities have had their prices thrashed so quickly? Does it even remotely reflect a change in their supply parameters?
    ....or their all just the doing of traders on the commodities floor?
    ....Its All about the Narratives. Narratives are used to justify higher and lower prices. When we had the inflation narrative, traders trade them higher, and when we had the recession narrative, traders sell ahead...even while supply constraints remained.
    ...now you tell me if the free market is not responsible for the volatility we see today?

    Corn, Wheat, and Soybeans are all down over 20% from their recent highs, providing a much needed respite from the painful increases we’ve seen in the past year.

    In addition, the price of Cotton has plummeted over 40% and is now lower on the year.
