Drought or Macro 8% move the norm?

Alan PalmerGeneral Commentary

Grains- Summer Low’s may be in, possibly beans and meal go back down but this is my 34th weather market so strap it on, “it’s getting hot in here.” Meal could be the best sell, spreading-wise against a few.  Crush for soybean oil and by-product soy-meal could become the weak sister.  307-ish now but just spiked down on 6,000 contracts.  …

This upcoming wave should commence with a minor 5 wave move. This should be closely monitored. As of now it appears unclear. If contract weakens and holds below 926.6 I would consider this the commencement of …
