We see things differently

What we do

Our Commodity Futures Weekly Newsletter is more than just a market recap.

Contango Futures Advisory Inc. is a unique subscription-based commodity futures newsletter service. We provide timely insight and analysis on futures contracts, the direction of interest rates and the stock market, and our commodity bulls and bears.

Insight for the savvy investor.

Often at Contango Futures, we find ourselves at odds with the standard thinking about when to buy and sell stocks and commodities, especially as it relates to contango and backwardation. Some say one can never time the market but in futures trading, timing is a key component of success.

We follow and interpret the movements of intra-commodity spreads.

Understanding price spreads provides critical insight into the demand/supply balance of an underlying commodity. By focusing on the changes between contango and backwardation, we illustrate the importance of these spreads and their connection with the price direction.

Our Commodity Futures Weekly Newsletter provides clear and concise information, timely perspectives and actionable analysis for:

  • Trading professionals

  • Seasoned retail investors

  • Those looking to expand their trading knowledge
