Weekly Gold Report

Sean LuskGeneral Commentary

Gold fell on Friday after hitting a seven-week high earlier this week, as the dollar rose from multi-month lows, after monthly U.S. non-farm payrolls data was better-than-expected. Data from the U.S. Department of Labor showed the U.S. added 209 K jobs in July while the unemployment rate was 4.3 percent. Economists surveyed by Reuters had expected the report to show growth …

No Footing: Focus September Soybeans

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

   September Soybeans  The week, posting a 50 cent range, closes near the low end at 952.2. A very non impressive session unfolds in today’s action with the contract failing to show any signs of stabilizing. The wave structure developing from the highs at roughly 1037 appears non-impulsive, however, it continues to point lower. Early support comes in at +/-945-943. …

Weekend Wrap Grains

Alan PalmerGeneral Commentary, Grains

I was walking to the train this am and my brain was thinking first frost.  It is just the way a real trader brain works in my opinion.  I am always early which can be detrimental because a trader has to guard but an asset to a customer. BEANS CORN AND BEAN WHEAT are both at even money which can …

Corrective Wave Decline: October Crude Oil

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

October Crude Oil       It appears that we have established a series of impulsive advancements stemming from the lows at roughly 42.50. Currently an a-b-c corrective decline seems to be in motion. A slip to 48.50-48.30 should set projected (c) wave extreme. If this interpretation is accurate the (c) wave low should not overlap the wave (i) price …

Critical Level: Focus September Soybeans

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

September Soybeans       The bean market dipped below support level of 956-954 to post low of 949 before rebounding to finish at 954. Projections for the decline seen after the the high established at 1037.4 have been achieved and slightly overshot. We now rest at the critical level I discussed in yesterday’s post. It’s pretty dicey here with …

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.  …

Putting Up A Fight: September Soybean Complex

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

September Soybeans      Tight range in the bean market today as the contract tries to stabilize at upper end of projected support zone. Any rally will have to contend with +/- 981 resistance level. Holding above 983 will look good. We must analyze the structure of any advance for impulsive qualities. If they exits I’d consider the recent low …
