Watch Wheat

Jay Kaeppel
2021-09-09
Wheat is entering what is typically a period of seasonal strength. We spell out the details.

While corn and soybeans remain mired in periods of seasonal weakness, wheat is entering a period of seasonal strength.

The chart below displays the Annual Seasonal Trend for wheat.

TRADING DAY OF YEAR #172 THROUGH #186

Let's focus on the period highlighted in the red box in the chart above - which extends:

  • From the close of TDY #172 
  • Through the close of TDY #186

The chart below displays:

  • The gain or loss in dollar value for wheat futures 
  • During this period 
  • Since 1959

As you can see in the chart above, wheat:

  • Was a model of consistency during this period for many decades
  • Took two large hits during this period in the past decade
  • Has returned to consistency in recent years, showing gains during this period in each of the last 6 years

The chart below displays:

  • The cumulative gain or loss achieved by wheat futures 
  • ONLY during this seasonally favorable period

The table below displays the relevant facts and figures regarding wheat performance during this period.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
