Spread Strategy: Buy MCX Mar Lead; Sell MCX Mar Aluminum

Inter-Commodity Spread: 

An inter-commodity spread is taking an advantage from the price behavior of two different commodity futures with a same expiry date. Means going long on one commodity future and short in other commodity future.

Strategy:

The spread between Lead & Aluminum 31st Mar 2015 expiry futures contracts is hovering in the range of 4.9 to -4.65 levels for the last 60 days. Currently the spread difference is at 3.30 levels and that is expected to become -0.90 in short-term. In current scenario one can take the advantage of the price movement and initiate short position in lead and long position in aluminum at the current market price.
