Wheat and soybeans to staples

Wheat fell 12.0%, Soybeans fell 4.7% and Consumer Staples rose 7.8% over 30 days: the other way, the direction a cost link predicts. Co-movement, not a measured cause.

Wheat and soybeans are ingredient and feed costs to bakery and packaged-food makers, so cheaper inputs leave them more margin.

What this page does not have

This is a curated set of the clearest direct links, not a full input-output graph. A comprehensive version would need the BEA input-output tables.

  • No freight, trucking, shipping or port series, so the diesel path is a fuel cost and never a freight rate.
  • No wage, hiring, job-openings or layoff series, so there is no labour channel.
  • No tariff, subsidy or policy record, so there is no policy channel.
  • No industry-level measurement, so every intermediate node is a relationship and not a reading.
  • No intraday series, so every figure is a daily close.
