DTN Grain Open: Under Pressure as Trade Hostilities Increase

 

Today's Market View:


Corn: Prices remain pressured by mostly favorable U.S. weather.
Soybeans: Mostly favorable weather plus escalating trade tensions with China are keeping the trend down in soybeans.
Wheat: Winter wheat is trending lower, interrupted by rain concerns.

                Newcrop Beans dropped thru guard rails                            By hayman - June 24, 2018, 9:59 p.m.            

               Daily candlesticks, November Soybeans

Breaking down through the lower tine of the Andrews Fork was some heck of a signal.  That I saw happen in front of my face and did not take because of my dang permabull bias.  Read horror stories of traders caught, one even whipsawed both ways that crazy dip day.  What is that old saying, "better out, wishing to be in   rather than in and wishing to be out"!

 I like that saying Hayman.......and your wonderful chart.

SX now down almost $1.60 from the highs just 3 weeks ago........which were $10.60. Wow!

Lows from last Tue/19th are 864.5.........so we are 40c above the lows.

                Oats the strongest            

               By hayman - June 24, 2018, 10:10 p.m.            

            September Oats

Instead of blowing chunks like the rest, oats taking this opportunity to make a easy double bottom out of this!

            Very interesting that oats have held here.

Wonder why? Crop conditions for oats are also pretty good.........70% gd/ex but not AS good as corn/beans/Spring wheat. 

Alot of old timers remember the expression "Oats Knows!"

            over due for a bounce in grain...tonight may end the blood letting..."oats knows"


Monday thought:

Regarding Oats. The fact that we don't export alot of them could have alot to do with it......metmike

            CZ down 55c from the highs of 3 weeks ago......just above $3.73 at the moment.

Around 13c above the spike lows from last Tue/19th that were $3.60.

Yes, for sure prices would not have been pounded this low in just 3 weeks without that being a factor.

That article came out in April and we managed a huge rally after that thru April/May...........mostly on a weather scare.

Now that rains have bombarded the key areas.......too much in fact, it will be much harder for hot/dry to turn this around. 

A week of hot/dry is actually  bearish in many places right now.

Will we even get 2 straight weeks of hot/dry this Summer?
