This seasonal spread did not really take off so far this year. There is still a chance provided the uptrend line holds, and resistance at 4.75 is broken.
If this happens, there is a good chance the December Minneapolis / Chicago wheat spread will follow.

Andreas,
What are your target and stop for this trade? Maturity seems a bit short? thanks
 
bgold,

Actually it is too late now for this spread, with expiration coming soon. Same for the MWZ/WZ even though it looks a little bit better. Normally this spread starts to work around August/September, sometimes as early as July. Last year October KWZ was more than $1 over WZ, with the spread starting to go up in July. This year it just did not work. This happens sometimes. It only shows that seasonality is not a law written in stone. I am still keeping an eye on the same spreads in the March04 contracts, but so far I am not overly impressed.

Best regards and good trades,
Andreas
