Looking Ahead to Today by Reflecting Back at Tuesday’s Price Action
GRAINS:
Lower closes for corn, rough rice, Minneapolis, Kansas City and Chicago wheat along with soybeans, soymeal and soyoil. All of the wheat continue to be in downtrends with Chicago wheat making a new CONTRACT LOW AND CLOSE. Corn settled lower as its choppy action continues unable to break through the same area it’s sold off from several times before. The overall trend for corn is still down while trading, basically, between 360 and 380 (July) since late March. Oats and rice closed lower this time with rice making a new CONTRACT LOW CLOSE both continuing to be in strong downtrends overall. The bean complex closed lower with beans making their lowest low and close since February, meal since the middle of April and oil since the beginning of February. Meal is also still very close to a sell signal. SELL SIGNALS FOR MINNEAPOLIS, KANSAS CITY AND CHICAGO WHEAT ALONG WITH OATS, ROUGH RICE, SOYBEANS AND SOYOIL.CALL FOR DETAILS!
