Episode Synopsis

In this week's episode of Hedge Heads, Jon Prischman and Ryan Tungseth dive into one of the most frustrating spring markets in years. Despite solid export data, geopolitical tension in Russia and Ukraine, and low crop condition ratings, the grain markets—especially corn—remain in a downward spiral. With momentum trading overpowering fundamentals, traders are left asking: What will it take for the market to finally turn? Jon and Ryan explore strategies for participating in a market that seems broken, from short-dated calls to seasonal spread plays. They also dive into non-grain markets like lean hogs, metals, and Bitcoin futures, and why a shift in contract sizing could open new doors for hedgers and speculators alike. If you're waiting for the market to care again—this one's for you. "Hedge Heads" is your go-to podcast for cutting through the noise of the futures markets. We get down to the nitty-gritty of grain and cattle trading, with a side of equities and crude oil talk, all while keeping an eye on the latest news that affects your bottom line.    Tune in for straightforward insights and expert opinions to help you make more informed decisions on the farm or ranch.
