Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Reclassification	Certain prior period data has been reclassified in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes to conform to the current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates all entities, including variable interest entities (VIEs), in which it has a controlling financial interest. For VIEs, the Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary as defined under the applicable accounting standard. Investments in affiliates, including VIEs through which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control the investee and is not the primary beneficiary of the investee’s activities, are carried at cost plus equity in undistributed earnings since acquisition and are adjusted, where appropriate, for basis differences between the investment balance and the underlying net assets of the investee. The Company’s portion of the results of certain affiliates and results of certain VIEs are included using the most recent available financial statements. In each case, the financial statements are within 93 days of the Company’s year-end and are consistent from period to period.
Segregated Cash and Investments	Segregated Cash and Investments The Company segregates certain cash, cash equivalents, and investment balances in accordance with regulatory requirements, commodity exchange requirements, and insurance arrangements. These balances include deposits received from customers of the Company’s registered futures commission merchant and commodity brokerage services, cash margins and securities pledged to commodity exchange clearinghouses, and cash pledged as security under certain insurance arrangements. The payables to brokerage customers have a corresponding balance in segregated cash and investments and segregated customer omnibus receivable in other current assets. Segregated cash and investments also include restricted cash collateral for the various insurance programs of the Company’s captive insurance business. To the degree these segregated balances are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, they are considered restricted cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Receivables	Receivables The Company records accounts receivable at net realizable value, including an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances and any accrued interest receivables thereon. The Company estimates uncollectible accounts by pooling receivables according to type, region, credit risk rating, and age. Each pool is assigned an expected loss co-efficient to arrive at a general reserve based on historical write-offs adjusted, as needed, for regional, economic, and other forward-looking factors. Long-term receivables recorded in Other assets were not material to the Company’s overall receivables portfolio.
Inventories	Inventories Certain merchandisable agricultural commodity inventories, which include inventories acquired under deferred pricing contracts, are stated at market value. In addition, the Company values certain inventories using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Cost Method Investments	Cost Method Investments Cost method investments represent investments in private companies and private equity funds to diversify the overall investment portfolio. These investments are generally in companies in the startup or development stages and the markets for products these companies are developing are typically in the early stages. The Company’s evaluation of privately held investments is based on the fundamentals of the businesses invested in. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of such investments to determine if any valuation adjustments are appropriate under the applicable accounting pronouncements. Cost method investments of $326 million and $439 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, were included in Other non-current assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Revaluation gains and losses, including impairment losses, are recorded in Interest and investment (income) expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized impairment losses of $187 million. Impairment losses are recognized when the Company identifies events or changes in circumstances that suggest the carrying amount of an investment might exceed its fair value.
Investments in Affiliates	Investments in Affiliates The Company applies the equity method of accounting for investments in investees over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence.
Redeemable Non-controlling Interests	Redeemable Non-controlling Interests The Company presents any redeemable non-controlling interests in temporary equity within the Consolidated Balance Sheets at redemption value with period changes recorded in reinvested earnings. The Company reports the portion of its earnings or loss for redeemable non-controlling interests as Net earnings (losses) attributable to non-controlling interests in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements Effective December 31, 2025, the Company will be required to adopt Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments in this ASU are required to be applied on a prospective basis, and retrospective adoption is permitted. The adoption of the amended guidance will result in expanded disclosures in the Company’s income taxes footnote but is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Effective January 1, 2026, the Company will be required to adopt ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which simplifies the application of the current expected credit loss model for current accounts receivable and current contract assets under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Contracts with Customers.

The amendments in this ASU can be applied on a prospective basis or retrospective basis upon adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Company measures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company uses the market approach valuation technique to measure the majority of its assets and liabilities carried at fair value. Three levels are established within the fair value hierarchy that may be used to report fair value: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. Level 2: Observable inputs, including Level 1 prices that have been adjusted; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are less active than traded exchanges; and other inputs that are observable or can be substantially corroborated by observable market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are a significant component of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
