Thanks, tallpine!
To me, the weather looks too dry for C and S the next 2 weeks and is bullish. Especially the central and eastern Cornbelt.
W is still bearish because of big rain in the S.Plains.
EE last 12z run for total rains:
We are at an extraordinarily high risk in time to be trading right now.
1. Additional bank failures look likely.
2. Potential default on the debt. Surely they will make an agreement but news on the agreement could cause a brief spike higher and we're getting down to the wire.
3. Horrible war in Ukraine. It's already damaged the US economy with additional inflation just from the lower supply side dynamics(energy/food) which caused the Fed to increase interest rates more than it would have. This also has been a factor in the bank defaults. So much uncertainty and huge stakes. Nuke weapons and we spike 1 way. News of negotiations and it goes the other way.
thanks, Jean!
