Corn Futures Continue to Offer Ample Opportunities

Corn futures held where they needed to in yesterday’s session. Can the market use that to propel a rally back above 450?

Outside Markets & Headlines

Outside markets are pretty calm in the Thursday morning trade. Stock indices have traded on both sides of unchanged and are currently near the flat line. Oil is back near the highs of the week, but it isn’t trading in a panicky fashion. The US Dollar is firming up after the market caught it’s breath yesterday, following the big rally on Monday and Tuesday. Precious metals are modestly higher, but are mostly confined to the previous day’s range. Silver did take a nosedive right around Midnight (central time) but has managed to recover back to where it was trading prior to that breakdown.

BEIJING, March 5 (Reuters) – China aims to achieve grain output of around 700 million metric tons in 2026, unchanged from 2025, a copy of an official government report reviewed by Reuters showed on Thursday.

China will establish “stable and controllable” overseas supply channels, diversify agricultural imports, allow limited imports of scarce high-quality agricultural products, and align trade with domestic production, according to its 2026-2030 plan released on Thursday.

 

Corn

 

Technicals (May)
Corn futures were lower yesterday, following Tuesday’s bearish reversal. The silver lining is that the market held exactly where it needed too, and then managed to bounce into the close. We outlined that major 4-star support pocket as 439 3/4-441 3/4 (yesterday’s low: 440 1/4). The market is no levitating back near our pivot pocket from 446-447 3/4. If the market can reclaim ground above here on a closing basis that would help cement higher lows and potentially take us to higher highs for the move. First resistance above that pivot pocket remains intact from 453-454 1/2. Shorter term trade setups continue to be available for traders on both sides of the market.

Resistance: 453-454 1/2****, 460-461***

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.
