Wheat
Wednesday’s Recap
Wheat futures were mostly higher Wednesday with the July contract finishing the session at a one week low of 534’2, off 0’2, over a tight trading range. Across all maturities, volume was 158,921, with July seeing 72,453 traded. Overall open interest dropped 5,221 (1.18%) to 436,742. July fell by 17,095, or 9.70%, finishing at 159,198.
Technicals
the 20-day moving average was mentioned in the corn and soybean section and is also relevant to the recent action in wheat (along with many other commodities). That coupled with previously important price points has created our pivot pocket from 536-541. The Bulls need to see consecutive closes above this pocket to start repairing the damage that was done in the first two day’s of the week. Our bias right now is mostly neutral. If you are playing it from the long side, we see first risk down to 521 3/4-527 1/2. Below that and selling could accelerate.
