The Jul '26 Corn contract's settlement price was also up, but not as much, increasing 04'0 (+0.88%) to 461'0. That caused the Mar '26-Jul '26 spread to rise from -13.25 to -13.00. The spread has narrowed significantly over the past 90 days, having stood at -17.25 on September 10th. Both were up over that time period, but Jul '26 increased less.

There is a substantial risk of loss in foreign exchange trading. The settlement date of foreign exchange trades can vary due to time zone differences and bank holidays. When trading across foreign exchange markets, this may necessitate borrowing funds to settle foreign exchange trades. The interest rate on borrowed funds must be considered when computing the cost of trades across multiple markets.
