The 11th International Oat Conference was postponed and many oat-related events were cancelled or moved online due to COVID-19. A rust surveillance reminder for Louisiana and a new western Canadian oat breeder are also noted.
Event cancellations affect industry networking rather than supply or demand, so the price impact on oats is negligible.
After 16 past disease events, Oats moved a median +2.3% over 5 sessions (69% higher; middle half -2.7% to +4.3%), and -1.1% over 20.
Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
