What Futures Traders Should Watch This Week

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

Light, Earnings and Economic data next week. There are a few fed speakers, Miran, Cook and Jefferson of consequence. Barr is on the supervision side.

The IRAN War continues, speculation leads the volatility.

When the markets open Sunday night, you may want to take a peek.

Post‑FOMC Positioning, Quarter‑End Flows, and Roll Activity

Markets enter the final full trading week of March following last week’s FOMC meeting, with traders now shifting focus from policy uncertainty to post‑decision positioning, quarter‑end flows, and contract roll dynamics.

With the Fed having concluded its March meeting and left rates unchanged, attention turns to how equities, rates, and commodities digest the updated economic projections and forward guidance. [federalreserve.gov]

From a futures perspective, roll activity is beginning to accelerate, particularly in equity index products as volume gradually migrates toward June contracts. Traders should be mindful of changing liquidity profiles as front‑month contracts approach expiration later this week. [futures.aeromir.com]

Energy, Agriculture, and Input Costs Remain in Focus

Energy markets continue to be influenced by supply‑side uncertainty and geopolitical risk, with crude oil and refined products remaining historically volatile. Natural gas traders are also watching late‑season storage data and production levels as winter demand winds down and injection season approaches.

In agriculture, inputs and fertilizers remain an important secondary theme. Urea and fertilizer contracts at the CME have seen elevated interest as global supply concerns intersect with seasonal demand from North American producers.

These products, along with traditional grain and biofuel markets such as corn, soybeans, and soybean oil, continue to offer opportunities for spread trading, calendar structures, and relative‑value strategies in liquid markets. [forex.trad…charts.com]

As always, traders should consider both outright and spread‑based approaches depending on volatility and margin considerations.

June (M6) is Front Month

Equity indices, treasuries, currencies and other contracts are now being traded on June (M)

Futures 102: The Daily Briefing by Cannon

Every morning, the world’s biggest banks and macro strategists publish where markets are headed. The rest of the world waits for the headline.

That intelligence stays locked inside trading desks, institutional terminals, and private client portals — accessible only to the few who pay for the privilege, and even they only get what they pay for.

This briefing changes that ( 100% FREE on Cannon’s website!!). Every morning we scour the open web and aggregate everything that matters — pulling from publicly available sources so you never have to — and distill it into one clear, readable edition you can get through before your first coffee is finished.

From the morning calls at Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, to the independent macro voices moving markets, to the reporters who break desk leaks first — it’s all here, every day, in plain language.

No terminals. No subscriptions. No private portals. Just everything the market is saying, gathered in one place, every morning before the bell.

June 10 Year Treasury Bonds

The June 10 Year Treasury Bonds have broken down into a new contract low where the chart is taking aim at its first downside PriceCount objective to the 110^02 area.

 Learn more spreads and seasonal patterns in commodity futures HERE

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved.

It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk.

Futures Trading Disclaimer:

Transactions in securities futures, commodity and index futures and options on futures carry a high degree of risk. The amount of initial margin is small relative to the value of the futures contract, meaning that transactions are heavily “leveraged”. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit: this may work against you as well as for you.

You may sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with the clearing firm to maintain your position. If the market moves against your position or margin levels are increased, you may be called upon to pay substantial additional funds on short notice to maintain your position. If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.
