Unraveling the Weather-Agriculture Nexus
Corn and Wheat Futures in Overnight Trading
Corn and wheat futures witnessed a downward trend in overnight trading due to signs of favorable weather in parts of South America. Last week, rainfall in southern Brazil improved the prospects for recently planted crops. As much as 50 millimeters (2 inches) of rain fell from Nov. 27 through Dec. 1, and some areas received up to 30 millimeters of precipitation. Brazil's standard precipitation index for November showed that northern and southern states suffered from dryness, while central states received ample rainfall. Rain has also fallen in parts of Argentina, boosting crop prospects. For example, corn futures for March delivery fell 2 1/4¢ to $4.30 3/4 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade. Wheat futures lost 3 3/4¢ to $5.44 1/4 a bushel, and Kansas City futures declined 2 3/4¢ to $5.38 a bushel.Soybean Sales Surge to a Marketing Year High

China was the largest buyer, purchasing 1.09 million tons, followed by Mexico (339,000 tons) and Germany (202,000 tons). USDA also reported that exports for the week totaled 2.08 million tons, down 15% from the previous week.

Mexico bought 405,200 tons, an unnamed destination took 115,900 tons, Guatemala was in for 93,700 tons, and Colombia purchased 74,000 tons.

Many of the same GoPro deals from Black Friday are still available. The Hero 13 Black + Accessories bundle at Best Buy for $349.99 (was $449.99) or £349.99 at Currys (was £449.99) in the UK is a personal favorite.

Cyber Monday GoPro Deals: FAQs
Is Cyber Monday the best time to buy a GoPro? Yes, it is. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are ideal for purchasing new camera gear, including GoPros. GoPro typically launches its latest flagship in September, and these sales events coincide with the best deals for older models.
Be cautious of seemingly huge discounts. Some retailers may use the original list price, even for older models. Look for the best price, not just the biggest discount. We check the price history and only include the best deals.
When will the Cyber Monday GoPro deals start in 2024? The official Cyber Monday sale takes place on December 2. Most retailers price match, so if you find a discount at one place, it's likely to be the same at GoPro's official website. Amazon often offers better deals, so it's a good place to start.
What Cyber Monday GoPro deals should I expect? The Hero 13 Black was launched in September 2024, so the best deals might be for the Hero 12 Black. In the UK, the Hero 11 Black has already reached its lowest-ever price at Amazon. Further back models like the Hero 10 Black may also see discounts, but GoPro rarely drops flagship series models below $200/£200.
Is a GoPro Premium Subscription worth it? If you use your GoPro regularly, a Premium Subscription is worth it. It offers unlimited cloud storage, damaged camera replacement, and discounts on mounts and accessories. If you buy a new GoPro from the GoPro store, the first year of subscription is free. After that, it costs $49.99/£49.99 annually.
