Learn About Futures on September 1: Organge Juice *LINK* *PIC*

Fresh squeezed or mixed from concentrate, orange juice is a popular beverage across the world. The first juice production occurred early in the 20th century, and trading began later on the New York Board of Trade, where the market appeared in a particular feature film with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd.
