In this episode of The Futures Rundown, host Mark Longo is joined by guest Carley Garner from DeCarley Trading to discuss the latest action in the futures markets. They begin by exploring an unexpected commodity that has caught Carley's attention: feeder cattle, and the challenges producers face in a record-high market.
The conversation then shifts to a detailed breakdown of the week's top movers, both to the upside and downside, in agricultural, energy, and crypto futures. Mark and Carley analyze surprising trends, including a deflationary narrative in commodities and the extreme volatility of crypto products like Ether. The episode concludes with a deep dive into the contract specifications for the newer Solana futures, including a discussion on contract sizing and the pros and cons of cash settlement for crypto futures.
