Introducing The Spread Trader — A New Dimension of Market Analysis
At the Klarenbach Grain Report, our mission has always been to bring you the same calibre of analysis used by institutional traders, grain companies, and hedge funds operating in Chicago, London, New York, and Geneva.
Today, we are expanding that mission with the launch of a new content series: The Spread Trader.
Spread trading is a discipline that operates alongside — and often independent of — the directional price moves that dominate most market commentary.
Where conventional analysis asks, " Where is the price going?, Spread trading asks a deeper question: what is the relationship between markets, contract months, and delivery periods telling us?
Mastering this third dimension can add precision, reduce risk, and unlock opportunities that outright futures positions cannot.
To lead this series, we are proud to welcome Brent Futz as a guest contributor.
Brent brings a rare depth of experience to the Klarenbach Grain Report. His career spans the era of the open-outcry trading floor at the Winnipeg Commodity Exchange through to the modern electronic marketplace — a journey that has taken him through the roles of institutional trader, floor trader, broker, senior economist, and consultant.
Across those years, Brent has refined a disciplined approach to calendar spread trading that integrates seamlessly with both technical and fundamental analysis.
Brent holds a Master of Science in Agricultural Economics from the University of Manitoba, and it is that combination of academic grounding and real-world market experience that makes his perspective genuinely distinct.
Through The Spread Trader, Brent will introduce readers to the mechanics of commodity spread trading, walk through practical strategies, and demonstrate how this approach can complement the market analysis you already rely on.
Whether you are new to spreads or looking to deepen an existing understanding, this series is built for you.
We are glad to have Brent on board, and we look forward to the insights ahead.
