Grain markets firm as a “risk-on” trade environment sweeps across markets following yesterday’s Federal Reserve meeting

Corn

Technicals (March)

March corn futures made another lower low since posting a short term top last week, but prices are stabilizing overnight and right back in our pivot pocket from 481-484.  A “risk-on” trade environment following yesterday’s Federal Reserve meeting has given many commodities markets a tailwind in the overnight and early morning trade.  As you can see from the chart below, we are basically smack dab in the middle of downward sloping channel.  Because it is still downward sloping, our bias is still in Bearish territory.  However, if the market is able to defend this area and bounce from here, we could see an inverse head and shoulders formation forming which would be a sight for the Bulls sore eyes. 

Bias: Bearish/Neutral

Resistance:  493-496 1/2****, 502 1/2-505***

Pivot: 481-484 

Support: 470-473****, 460-464 1/2**

Soybeans

Technicals (January)

January soybean futures saw follow-through selling pressure in yesterday’s trade which took prices into negative territory for the week.  Prices traded higher on the open last night and have sense traded on both sides of unchanged.  As mentioned in the corn section, many commodities markets are benefiting from a “risk-on” trade following yesterday’s Federal Reserve meeting. 

Bias: Neutral/Bearish

Resistance: 1346-1352***, 1360-1362**

Pivot: 1323-1327 

Support: 1294 1/2-1300****, 1267-1272***

Wheat

Technicals (March)

March wheat futures continued to dip lower yesterday, holding ground just above the psychologically significant $6.00 level.  The US Dollar is sharply lower since yesterday afternoon’s Federal Reserve meeting, which has helped prices stabilize and recover in the overnight and early morning trade. 

Bias: Neutral/Bearish

Resistance: 622-631***, 645-650*** 

Pivot: 608 1/2-611 

Support: 591 1/2-595***

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 that 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 that cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
