September cocoa closed higher on Wednesday as it consolidated some of this month's decline. The mid-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Thursday. Stochastics and the RSI are oversold but remain neutral to bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If September extends this month's decline, the  87% retracement level of 2020's rally crossing at 22.03 is the next downside target. Multiple closes above the 20-day moving average crossing at 23.42 would signal that a short-term low has been posted.                     



October sugar closed higher on Wednesday. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Thursday. Stochastics and the RSI are turning neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If October extends the rally off last-week's low, July's high crossing at 18.49 is the next upside target. If October renews the decline off July's high, June's low crossing at 16.44 the next downside target.       



December cotton posted an inside day with a higher closed on Wednesday. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Thursday.
