The Fryers Reports are the brainchild of Noel Fryer who began distributing his independent-minded cash market reports over 20 years ago.
Born from a need for short, simple but informed daily snapshots of global cash markets in grains and oilseeds the Fryers Reports is a staple source of unbiased information for commercial traders around the world.
The Fryers Reports cover grains (wheat, barley, and corn) and protein markets (oilseeds, protein meals, and vegetable oils). There are four daily reports: three are distributed in the morning (European time), focusing on global wheat cash markets, feed grains (primarily barley and corn), and proteins. Each evening, the EU-Black Sea Report provides an update on Black Sea cash markets for grains. Additionally, there is a weekly recap and a monthly post-USDA report recap.
Reports can be subscribed to individually or as part of a package, with special offers available for two or more subscriptions.
Rory brings over 15 years of hands-on experience in the commodity markets, with an extensive background in trading, risk management, and market analysis. Raised on a farm, Rory’s deep connection to the land has given him an innate understanding of agricultural cycles and how they impact global supply chains.
His early career began with a PhD focusing on biofuels and their influence on commodity markets, which paved the way for key roles at leading physical trading and financial services firms. These roles enabled Rory to work closely with a wide array of clients across the agriculture, biofuel, and energy sectors, honing his ability to identify market risks and opportunities.
Throughout his career, Rory has remained committed to helping businesses and traders make informed, data-driven decisions. His practical knowledge of the interconnected nature of commodities — from grains and oilseeds to biofuels and energy — gives him a unique perspective that drives Black Silo’s in-depth reports.
With a passion for helping others navigate the complexities of these markets, Rory is dedicated to continuing the legacy of the Fryer’s Reports, ensuring Black Silo provides the same high standards of insightful analysis and actionable intelligence that businesses have come to rely on.
We had another succesful Fryers Reports Geneva grain traders lunch today. Great company, great weather and great conversation.
Thanks to all who came and already looking forward to our next lunch in December.
It’s amazing what nature can gift you when give it a chance and leave the strimmer and mower in the shed.
2Rain makes grain, but in France, heat makes #wheat.
