Schad Commodity Monthly Report: An Insider’s View of the Next Big Market Move · May 9th, 2025

Once each week, usually on Friday evenings, we’ll update our personal weekly commodity trading charts and review them for changes in “net long” or, “net short” holdings between the big commercial commodity traders, large speculators, and the usually uninformed public. This is our professional analysis of “the bigger picture” and current dynamics for each market which provide a spyglass view of the BIG commercial traders and what they are currently doing to influence the futures markets.

As you may already know, insider trading with stocks on Wall Street is very illegal. However, in the commodity trading industry, large/commercial traders MUST report their positions EACH WEEK to the CFTC regulatory body, hence, we monitor them on a weekly basis. Although the futures markets themselves will ultimately provide the most accurate illustration of trend, these (weekly) charts we’ve identified, serve to forewarn us of the next possible bigger move.

Here are the commodity markets which illustrate their forthcoming changing picture…the ones to be watching more closely to consider taking a position in next week:

UP Trending Futures Markets: Gold*, Feeder Cattle, British Pound, Euro-FX, Japanese Yen, and Soy Oil

DOWN Trending Futures Markets: Crude Oil NY, Cotton #2*, US Dollar Index, Heating Oil NY, Hard-Red Winter Wheat, RBOB Gasoline, Corn/Maize, Soymeal, and Soft-Red Winter Wheat

*expect extension of current trend

ALL COMMENTARY IS CONSIDERED OPINION & VIEWS FROM THE AUTHOR AND NOT A SOLICITATION OF ANY SECURITIES. THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING COMMODITY INTERESTS CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL. YOU SHOULD THEREFORE CONSIDER WHETHER SUCH TRADING IS SUITABLE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.
