Deere Daily Volume Ranks 172nd as Trade Tensions Weigh on Shares

On August 11, 2025, Deere & Company (DE) traded with a daily volume of $0.56 billion, ranking 172nd in market activity. The stock closed down 0.66%, reflecting heightened sensitivity to geopolitical developments in its key markets.

Mounting trade tensions between the U.S. and Brazil have introduced uncertainty for Deere, a major exporter of agricultural machinery. Brazilian officials and industry leaders report stalled high-level negotiations to avoid 50% U.S. tariffs set to take effect on August 1. The dispute, tied to former President Jair Bolsonaro’s legal challenges against current President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, has created a fragile environment for multinational manufacturers reliant on South American operations. U.S. companies remain hesitant to publicly challenge President Trump over the issue, compounding regulatory ambiguity.

A liquidity-focused trading strategy involving the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume has demonstrated exceptional short-term performance. From 2022 to the present, this approach generated a 166.71% return, significantly outperforming the benchmark index’s 29.18% gain. The 137.53% excess return highlights the strategic advantage of capitalizing on high-liquidity assets during market volatility, particularly for firms with concentrated trading activity like Deere.
