>>That's buying/selling the same commodity but different contract months?<<

yup. and also dealing with the products of a commodity. soybeans; oil/meal ie crush spread or crude oil; heating oil/light crude/gasoline ie crack spreads

currency rates do have an impact on commodity prices. if the dollar is cheaper then the brazilian real and china is looking to buy several tons of beans and it is cheaper in the USA yes that would affect supply/demand hence the price movement. if you and i had the research staff to figure out the finite details of specific commodity fundamentals then that info could be used to come to a trade decision. but that sort of detail for someone in my position would just cloud my view. i don't think that the relationship is as strong as what you are looking at w/ the US and SP.
