I agree - the wheat july-sep spread blew out to -180 at one point when usually it is never below 0. Making a trade now has to be small size, or you risk your entire account getting liquidated....

Question is could it be potentially very profitable to trade against those liquidation type movements.. from my first post the spread has already moved from -26 to -21.. taking a small long position

Yeah the market is definitely wild at the moment, but the reason why I really like this spread is because it's backed strongly by fundamentals - if December is at a premium, then wheat producers who...

If Dec22 was sanctioned but Mar23 wasn't then sure that would explain the discount, but I would find that hard to believe. Harvests happen in July so with no new supply coming between Dec and March...

Thanks for the diagram. The thing is, the Russian/Ukranian crop harvest is around July time. By December it shouldn't matter - the harvests are all done, so it should just be storage by that point....

Interesting to observe that the wheat Dec'22 March'23 spread has inverted. Currently it's trading at -26, with dec at a significant premium to march implying a negative cost of carry. Not sure why -...

Storage doesn't seem that expensive and fundamentals seem pretty normal so my theory is just recent volatility caused it to be disjointed. Scaling in a short position as spread should collapse when...

Cocoa March-May '22 spread looking wild. Does anyone have any idea why March is trading at a ~50 discount to May?

Absolutely, trading the grain harvest through a fly is materially the same as trading it through a spread. People must realise that there is often a reason for the wild price swings in calendar...

Have a look at ZM December 21 - Jan 22. Seems to be little downside risk on that one in my opinion.

Agree with this - I didn't comment before because I haven't run purely seasonal models before, but fundamentally wheat looks like it could be in shorter supply than corn to me.

Agreed - I'm trading this through the March-July '23 spread rather than July-July, but same trade idea, that July 23 is mispriced.
