Prices hold steady at Brandon livestock auction

By Glen Hallick - MarketsFarm October 2, 2020

Prices at Heartland Livestock’s Brandon auction were firm on Sept. 22, compared to the previous week’s sale, according the auction’s Keith Cleaver. “The prices are actually pretty good,” he said, adding that the drop in the Canadian dollar probably lent some support to cattle prices.

FUTURES | Canola also remains subject to the Chicago soy complex’s complexities

Any hopes of canola getting a bounce on ICE Futures from Statistics Canada’s production report on Aug. 30 were largely dashed. The Canadian oilseed, for the most part, remained lower in the aftermath of the long-awaited report. The pattern repeated itself for a few days; for most of a session canola was pulled down by[...]

By Glen Hallick - MarketsFarm September 3, 2021

Recent rains in Manitoba have greened up pastures and in turn slowed down the number of cattle headed to market, said Kirk Kiesman, manager at Ashern Auction Mart.

By Glen Hallick - MarketsFarm April 8, 2021

Shock and awe rocked the markets on March 31 after the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued its prospective plantings report. The first survey-based projections for 2021 caught the markets largely off guard that Wednesday, which sent prices to their daily limit in several commodities.

Full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia unlikely

By Glen Hallick - MarketsFarm January 27, 2022

With at least 100,000 Russian troops deployed to the border with Ukraine, the threat of war between the two countries has sharply increased. Added to that is the effect the ramped-up tensions are having on wheat prices. An all-out invasion by Russia is something not very likely, according to Yuliia Ivaniuk, the co-ordinator at the Centre[...]

By Glen Hallick - MarketsFarm June 3, 2021

When the downturn in ICE Futures canola finally gave way, it did so with a measure of gusto.

Ashern Auction Mart cancelled its Feb. 1 sale, he said, and Gladstone was postponed to Feb. 2. “It’s the first time in all of my history[...]
