Grain markets have traded both sides of unchanged in the overnight session but have drifted lower through the early morning.

Corn

News

  • Weekly export inspections were reported at 550,585 metric tons.  Near the low end of expectations
  • Weekly crop progress showed corn harvest is 34% complete.
  • Thursday’s USDA report is scheduled to be released at 11am CT.  The average analyst estimate for the US corn yield is 173.5 bushels per acre, that would be down from 173.8 in last month’s report.  The average production estimate comes in at 15.121 billion bushels. 

Technicals (December)

December corn futures marked their third consecutive day of lower prices, the longest streak in nearly a month.  There is some support near the lows from last Wednesday/Thursday, 482 1/2.  If the Bulls can defend that it would mark a higher low on the chart.  A failure there opens the door for a retest of the lower end of the range, 472-476.

Bias: Neutral/Bullish

Resistance:  502-506 1/2***, 511 1/4**

Pivot: 489-491

Support: 472-476***, 460-464 1/2**

Soybeans

News

  • Weekly export inspections were reported at 1,036,223 metric tons.  Well above last week and above the upper end of expectations. 
  • Weekly crop progress showed US Soybean harvest at 43% complete.
  • Thursday’s USDA report is scheduled to be released at 11am CT.  The average analyst estimate for the US soybean yield is 49.9 bushels per acre, that would be down from 50.1 in last month’s report.  The average production estimate comes in at 4.134 billion bushels. 

Technicals (November)

November soybean futures were able to defend support from 1247-1257 again in yesterday’s trade which helped prices recover to finish the day closer to our pivot pocket.  That range will likely keep shorter term opportunities alive for traders on both sides of the market.  A breakout or breakdown could be the catalyst to spark a more directional trade. 

Bias: Neutral

Resistance:  1300-1308 1/2***, 1322-1328****

Pivot: 1280-1285 

Support: 1247-1257***, 1195-1200**

Wheat

News

Technicals (December)

Bias: Neutral/Bullish

Resistance: 585-587**, 595-599 1/2***, 612-616****

Pivot: 570

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.
