Unlock the secrets of agricultural commodities and discover how grains like wheat and corn can diversify and stabilize your investment portfolio. Join us as we explore the seasonal price patterns of these essential commodities, particularly in July, and learn how to capitalize on these fluctuations for positive alpha with minimal downside risk. Sal Gilbertie from Teucrium, an innovator in ag-based ETFs, shares his journey from trading energies at Cargill and highlights the underutilized potential of grains in investment strategies.

Sal and I discuss why grains often fly under the radar in investment portfolios, despite their ubiquitous presence and significant economic impact. We delve into the complex factors affecting grain prices, such as government subsidies, inflation, and synthetic fertilizers, and how these elements contribute to the unique nature of grains as commodities. The conversation emphasizes the importance of considering grains for portfolio diversification, highlighting the stair-step change in corn prices following the Renewable Fuels Act.

Explore the interconnectedness of global commodity markets, revealing how geopolitical tensions and energy costs can influence grain prices. We'll analyze how major exporters like Brazil, the U.S., and Ukraine play critical roles in the global grain supply chain. With insights into investment timing, historical trading patterns, and the resilience of corn, this episode is your comprehensive guide to the untapped potential of grain trading in today's complex market landscape.
