Soybean futures are weaker in the early morning trade following yesterday’s failure against technical resistance as traders look to tie up loose ends ahead of tomorrow’s USDA report.

Corn

News

  • Friday’s Quarterly Stocks Estimate
    • 1.429 billion bushels
  • With Friday being end of month and end of quarter, that may play a role in price action through the remainder of the week.

Soybeans

News

  • Friday’s Quarterly Stocks Estimate
    • 242 million bushels
  • With Friday being end of month and end of quarter, that may play a role in price action through the remainder of the week.

Technicals (November)

Soybean futures traded right to last Thursday’s breakdown point where the market fizzled out, moving our bias back to neutral.  The failure to chew through resistance has taken prices back below our pivot pocket 1300-1304.  A close back below this pocket keeps the door open for a retest of 1280-1285, below that is 1247-1257. 

Bias: Neutral

Resistance:  1322-1328****, 1350-1355***

Pivot: 1300-1304

Support: 1280-1285****, 1247-1257***

Seasonal Tendencies

Below is an updated look at seasonal averages for November soybeans.  Seasonal tendencies have shown weakness through the back half of September for the 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 year averages, illustrated in the chart below.

Wheat

News

  • Friday’s Quarterly Stocks Estimate
    • 1.772 billion bushels
  • With Friday being end of month and end of quarter, that may play a role in price action through the remainder of the week.

Technicals (December)

Wheat futures failed to get out above trendline resistance yesterday (see chart below) which may have spurred some selling pressure that took prices back below our pivot pocket from 585-587.  Support comes in at 570, which if tested would likely trigger some stops below there. 

Bias: Neutral/Bullish

Resistance: 595-599 1/2***, 612-616****

Pivot: 585-587

Support: 570**

Seasonal Tendencies

Below is an updated look at seasonal averages for December Chicago wheat.  We are inching closer to a seasonal low (based on historical tendencies).  Will that play out again this year? TBD.

Performance Disclaimer

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.

One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
