Now What? : September Soybean Complex

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

September Soybeans      Beans chopped higher in today’s session. After initially reacting off the 998  level touched on in Thursday’s report market  presses above to post high just shy targeted resistance of 1005.6 slipping in day session to finish at 1000. For me structural clues are non-apparent in today’s price action. If the market dips here it will find …

Pay heed to Cup—- Short on time to type a comment today but a boatload happening everywhere.  I am going to have to drop day to day coverage in meats as the audience for these tiny commodities is too small.  If you want to come here to do business with me then this would change but for now this is …
