The Long & Short of Futures Options 11: Goldilocks and the Ags
Mark is joined by Tim Andriesen and Jeff Lewandowski to talk about the seasonality of agriculture products.
What to Know: Weather implications impacting the planting season. It’s like Goldilocks, not too much rain, not too little. We’re way late getting grains into the ground, which is making a lot of buzz in the industry, as well as questions about future inventories. Short-duration options. New crop, old crop. The role volatility plays in the pricing of the contracts.
What to Watch: Looking to provide Chicago-style wheat products on those at the KC Board of Trade. Options landing page on the CME website.
What’s on Your Mind: Answering listener questions.
What is CME’s opinion of ag ETFs?
Is CME going to get more into ag volatility?
