Soybeans-Lack of heat, except if long, Wheat Live

Alan PalmerGeneral Commentary, Grains

Perfect growing weather from someone in the pit that was labeled a perma bull in beans.  Midwest is unreal really, with cool August temps. except for all the ‘lollapalooza’  kids heading to Lake Michigan.   I try to produce conditional indicators that funds use explicitly, especially when violated.  This enables me to help you identify low risk high reward trades.  …
