Article Summary
HOLD- CME Group, the world's leading derivatives marketplace, announced plans to launch Sorghum basis futures, with trading expected to start on August 24, 2026, pending regulatory review.
- The new basis contract reflects the price difference between sorghum and corn, two types of grain used in animal feed as well as ethanol feedstock, with the premium over corn usually signaling international demand driving values higher.
- The contracts will be physically delivered with grain being loaded out by truck or rail from elevators in Kansas using the established Kansas City Hard Red Winter Wheat delivery network.
- CME Group achieved record quarterly volume of 2.1 million contracts for Agricultural products in Q2 2026 with the second highest quarterly volumes on record at 695,000 contracts traded.
