Like, if Corn is trading at $1 and you adjust for some standard rate of markup then the corn at the store will also be $1? Or is it arbitrary and if Corn starts trading at $35 the store will instead decide to sell for $190... far beyond their standard markup practice or whatever --- "Salt cures Everything!"

In an ideal, infinite free market, they would. In practice, consumer prices tend to increase whenever commodity prices increase (with a certain delay/buffer to keep pricing competitive and minimize sticker shock) so the corporations driving prices can maintain their margins, while decreases in commodity prices often result in corporations keeping prices constant for a while so they can milk those savings for their own benefit instead of passing them on to the consumer, generally only dropping them when they can't get away with that greed anymore. The current price of gas is an excellent example of this: Crude prices are actually down and there is no genuine global shortage, oil companies are just able to get away with jacking up their prices because most people accept that they're going to be high due to Putin adopting the role of Douchewaffle Supreme and the belief that that's going to negatively impact global oil supply (which it has, but not this much). --- This is my signature.

Stock price is not connected to commodity value, however they both derive their value from the demand of the market and the effectiveness of production/supply. Both are speculative, but commodity price is more reliant on immediate return, while stock price is more reliant on public perception and thus long-term returns. --- Doctor Foxx posted...
