Thanks tallpine!
Still mildish for natural gas and putting pressure on price. $2.500 has been mega support the last couple of days with buyers in that area.........continued mild or getting milder may cause a breach.
Winter Storm #2 for Fri/Sat/Sun has much less snow in the forecast now but still alot of wind.
Widespread bearish rains for Brazil but Argentina turning drier. Not extreme heat but drier. US weather improves next week for late harvest.
Coffee has very heavy rains the next 2 weeks. Too much rain. Still thinking the huge rally last week may have been tied to forecasts for these extreme rains.
