JULY-NOV ’25 SOYBEAN SPREAD ZSQ25 – ZSX25
Daily Settlement	+8-4
14 Day M/A	Below↓
21 Day M/A	Below↓
14 Day High/Low	New ↓
YTD High/Low	Approaching ↓

As the soybeans market has been rising over the past week, November has been outpacing August on the way up.  This trend has this spread (ZSQ25-ZSX25) possibly heading towards carrying cost pricing with August beans priced below November beans, taking that spread negative. I feel that this trend of the spread can possibly continue if the soybean market pauses or even dips.

This strong downward trend of the spread has been taking place since June 10^th’s high of 19-6.  The spread has also stayed well below the 14-day (12-1) and 21-day (12-2) moving averages since falling below there on Monday (6/16).  We made a new-14 day low of 6 today after yesterday’s new 14-day low of 7.

We are also flirting with a new 52-week low below 2-6. If that happens, I think the spread may continue to go down and that’s when I would suggest getting short the spread. You could stick your toe in the water by trying to get short here at 8-6 or 9 using a quick stop just above, but I would suggest waiting for a new 52-week low. If and when we make a new 52-week low in the spread, I think it may be a good time to get short the spread.

Risk 4 cents or $200 Per Spread to make 10 cents or $500 Per Spread.
