Government Data & Market Reports Disclaimer

The market data presented here is drawn from reports published by government agencies and other public sources, including the CFTC’s Commitments of Traders report; USDA reports produced by its agencies - the World Agricultural Outlook Board (WASDE), the National Agricultural Statistics Service (Crop Progress, Grain Stocks, Crop Production, Cattle on Feed, Cattle Inventory, Hogs & Pigs, Livestock Slaughter, Cold Storage), the Foreign Agricultural Service (Export Sales), and the Agricultural Marketing Service (export inspections and cash market news); and exchange-published prices and indexes.

Ag Optimus is a registered DBA of Optimus Futures LLC, an introducing broker registered with the CFTC and a Member of the National Futures Association (NFA ID 0481133). Registration does not imply endorsement: neither the CFTC, the NFA, the USDA, nor any other agency or exchange has reviewed, approved, or endorsed this content, and the agencies that publish the underlying data played no role in its presentation here.

We report these figures as published, but we do not generate them and cannot guarantee their accuracy. Publishing agencies routinely revise, restate, or reclassify their data after release - USDA estimates are updated monthly and trued up against later counts, and CFTC positioning data may be corrected or reclassified in subsequent reports. In addition, our collection, processing, and presentation of the data may contain errors or omissions, and derived figures we calculate (such as net positions, week-over-week changes, rankings, or ratios) may differ from official presentations due to timing, rounding, or methodology.

Verify every number against the official source before relying on it - cftc.gov for positioning data, usda.gov for supply, demand, and production reports, and your own quote provider for prices. Data shown is as of the dates indicated and is not real-time. Commentary accompanying the data is the opinion of Ag Optimus, not a statement of fact, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell any futures or options contract. Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
