Definition
Planting rate represents the percentage of "currently planted quantity" to "total projected planted area for the current year" for each crop. Due to the seasonality of commodities, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) may not report this year-round. Once the USDA moves crop "planting" details to "condition" details, planting records stop updating, and condition records begin updating.
Impact on Market
Why It Matters
A higher cotton planting rate suggests that the planting task is closer to completion. Planting is the first step in increasing yield and is a positive signal for yield, theoretically leaning towards a bearish trend for cotton prices. FX678 and 1QH remind you: According to parameters from authoritative international media, the correlation between this indicator and the target is 59%.
