On the last trading day of the year, futures markets often see a unique mix of light liquidity and sharp, order\u2011driven moves as traders square positions, roll contracts, or manage exposure ahead of expiration cycles. With many contracts approaching settlement windows and delivery considerations still in play, price action can become more technical and less fundamentally driven. It\u2019s a day where disciplined risk management matters: thinner books can exaggerate moves, spreads may widen, and even routine hedging flows can create outsized volatility. For many traders, the focus shifts from seeking new opportunities to tightening risk, cleaning up books, and positioning smartly for the fresh trading year ahead.<\/p>\n

Remembrance:<\/em><\/h2>\n

Back in May the trading community lost a gent with one of the most distinguished careers in commodities.\u00a0Jerry Lee Toepke (tep-key) passed away on May 20, 2025, in Cottage Grove, Oregon.\u00a0He was 75.<\/p>\n

For over 40 years, Jerry\u2019s expertise was widely recognized, leading him to speak at numerous conferences, seminars, and futures exchange functions. In recent years, he co-authored a book providing guidance on profitable spreads in the futures market and served as an editor for\u00a0Moore Research Center<\/a>‘s monthly report and various special publications. Jerry was a proud member of the Chicago Board of Trade and the National Futures Association.<\/p>\n

Jerry graduated from Pekin High School, about an hour from Bloomington, Illinois, where he was born.\u00a0He attended Northwestern University in the Chicago area, where he laid the groundwork for his remarkable career.\u00a0Jerry’s kindness, warmth, wisdom, and unwavering dedication to his family and career will be deeply missed by all who knew him.<\/p>\n
