Forward price premiums and discounted $AUD

Early in the season there can be very significant price premiums in the forward market. We provide strategies that help you to safely take advantage of these opportunities.

Identify pricing opportunities

We constantly analyse local and international grain fundamentals and charts, so that we can make informed hedging decisions.

Flexibility Forward sales can be defended if we think there is potential upside in the market. We can do this by low risk options strategies. Effectively this provides a solid price base plus allows you to benefit from any potential upside.

Seasonality Understand when grain prices typically show seasonal strength and how to take advantage of these price patterns.

Minimise production risk

Strategies that can take advantage of early pricing opportunities, without opening you to large production risks. No one wants to have unlimited hedge exposure if there is a drought!

Three components of price

Managing the three components of price (basis, futures and FX) will typically outperform those that just look at cash prices.

Volatility You spend 9 months growing your crop, how many months do you spend marketing it? Many growers spend a significant portion of their time on agronomy, however more time needs to be focused on marketing your grain. History tells us that volatile price moves of 40% or more can occur. It is easy to see that providing the right resources to grain marketing can lead to potentially strong gains to your bottom line.

Advisory alternatives Silver This service provides advice on using swap products. This product is ideal for those growers that are looking for a helping hand when using swaps, as they are not a set and forget strategy! You will have the confidence that CloudBreak is monitoring and guiding your hedge program.

Swaps can provide a powerful and flexible hedging tool without the obligation to deliver physical grain. Swaps can be beneficial when domestic grain prices are not offering good value and are trading at a discount to international levels. Potentially this leaves you open to benefit from a firming basis (cash prices firm relative to global values).

We provide advice on swaps, futures, options and currency. Using these advanced tools we can offer a proactive grain marketing plan that can be tailored to your circumstances.
