The U.S. agricultural trade imbalance just keeps piling on yards. Despite tariffs, the U.S. imported nearly $14 billion more in ag goods than we exported in Q2. That’s not a typo—that’s like the SEC and Big 10 winning the National College Football Championship … it just keeps happening. The bottom line: markets are unpredictable, defenses are tough, and the scoreboard can swing fast. Don’t let volatility leave your business offsides. At Datum FS, we use data-driven solutions to forecast and contract commodities straight from the source.  Visit the links above to learn more. ![](https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D4E12AQG2kU80PrcTtg/article-cover_image-shrink_720_1280/B4EZjnBQxiHoAI-/0/1756222525001?e=1761782400&v=beta&t=Q134EKWU1jhKsR0LqhIo43mntG8SqUopYDyMVr5ALaM)   [commodity markets](https://datumfs.com/en/maloni-intelligence-chart-of-the-week/tag/commodity-markets), [supply chain](https://datumfs.com/en/maloni-intelligence-chart-of-the-week/tag/supply-chain) ## Related posts [![](https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D4E12AQHSN3qi2kFahg/article-cover_image-shrink_423_752/B4EZiF5smFHoAY-/0/1754593151741?e=1759968000&v=beta&t=Xg4tPuyq-mXFMiGvDU6kGJ2VpEtc_70blB7enqPfpes)](https://datumfs.com/en/maloni-intelligence-chart-of-the-week/jobs-lag-beef-drops) [commodity markets](https://datumfs.com/en/maloni-intelligence-chart-of-the-week/tag/commodity-markets), [restaurants](https://datumfs.com/en/maloni-intelligence-chart-of-the-week/tag/restaurants) ## [Jobs Lag, Beef Drops](https://datumfs.com/en/maloni-intelligence-chart-of-the-week/jobs-lag-beef-drops) ![Picture of David Maloni](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/520f8829ce5a723a41ab6a8a3d9604b0) [David Maloni](https://datumfs.com/en/maloni-intelligence-chart-of-the-week/author/david-maloni) Aug 7, 2025 3:34:12 PM Perhaps a slower than expected economy could help with the historically inflated commodity prices?...
