CommodityScope Assessment Basis

This is the CommodityScope series definition for the published midpoint and assessment range. Characteristics that are not part of this basis are not inferred.

Product
Corn 3YC
Product quality
Product as labelled by the series name and location basis. CommodityScope does not infer a fuller chemical or contractual specification.
Location basis
FOB Pacific Northwest
Parcel basis
Typical export cargo as transacted on the stated port basis. CommodityScope does not fix a standard parcel tonnage.
Delivery / loading period
Not fixed in the published series basis.
Assessment window

Currency / unit
USD/mt
Normalization
Inputs used for the midpoint and the assessment range are considered only after they can be expressed on this series basis and unit. Cross-unit values are not converted on the public site and are not mixed into this series.

Specification · stated in the assessment basis

  • US grade No. 3 yellow corn, from the series name.

Basis: FOB Pacific Northwest

  • FOB (free on board): the price covers the product loaded on the vessel at the named origin; sea freight and insurance to the destination are excluded, so FOB values from different loading areas are not delivered-cost equivalents.
  • The Pacific Northwest (PNW) basis refers to US export elevators in Washington and Oregon serving Asian destinations.

Unit: USD/mt

  • All grain and feed series are USD per metric tonne on the stated port basis.
  • Weekly assessments: the change shown is between two weekly readings, never a daily move.
How to use this series, and what it is not for

How to use this series
