Where agriculture stocks stand now
As of 12 October 2026, Agribusiness (MOO) ranks #97 of the 115 groups Zensei tracks by one-month return against the S&P 500. It is losing its lead. It built a 4.1-point advantage over the S&P 500 across the longer, time-shifted window, but over the past month it has slipped 8.7 points behind the market — the Cooling quadrant of the rotation map.
On the shorter tape, MOO's momentum is weakening: the intraday trend that carried the move is cooling across the shorter windows. MOO's relative-strength line has broken below its long-term average — the long-term outperformance trend is no longer intact. Both signals point the same direction here: the market is not rewarding this group on either horizon.
The exposure comes via VanEck Agribusiness ETF, whose 45 tracked holdings are led by Deere & Co, Bayer AG and Corteva Inc. The thing to watch from here is whether this is a pause or a handoff: cooling groups sometimes reset and reclaim leadership, but a deepening one-month deficit usually means rotation has moved on.
