Buy Corn Break, 3.82 &

Alan PalmerGeneral Commentary, Grains

Farmers and Traders, This one is live now.  Boy how things change fast from yesterday to today.  We are down from 4.15 in two days but this presents a nice extreme from which has paid pretty well lately.  The olive is the genesis of trading which is why it is so hard.  Is this the corn drought play?  All bets …

Hogs short, Feeders hit targets

Alan PalmerLivestock

What does your system do when it is wrong? Here I have the tiny feeder cattle contract but it is the same method pretty much.  If I get an area that is an olive sell denoted here and it is taken out to upside, what do you do or what does it mean you ask? I call that an OLS …

Corn-clean bin out $4.15

Alan PalmerGeneral Commentary, Grains

Good Morning, This looks like the 50 cent break, 1017 is where they all seem to swing as a pivot.  Bean lower on week in Aug, 1001, low.  20 cents air under. 1033 was half way red line. This is late and I didn’t think it mattered or anyone traded but Sept missed, 1038 1/2 an OLS off memory. Bean …

Ag Commentary

John WalshGrains

The wasde report today showed ample amounts of everything. In my opinion. However, the most important aspect to consider will be the weather over the next 3 weeks. The concern for beans is that if a ridge moves over the central US their may be a reduction in the bean yield. A 5-6% reduction could change the domestic balance sheet …

Mid-week Technical Observations: Soybean Complex

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

September Soybeans      Prices get a touch slippy after they fail to hold above 1031.6, yesterday’s hanging-man candle’s body low. This scenario was covered in Tuesday’s posting. Contract trades lower to 1015.4 before recovering to settle at 1025.2. A continued hold below 1031.6 opens the door for some liquidating pressure. A violation of today’s lows will break speed support …
