RICE
General Comments: Rice closed sharply higher as the market heard that Hurricane Beryl has hit growing areas with the damaging parts of the storm in and around the Houston area. The US weather has been an issue much of the growing season with too much rain early in the year and now a hurricane to drop big amounts of rain on cops again along with some high winds. Inland Texas areas could also see too much rain. Supply tightness is expected to give way to increased production this year and greatly increased supplies this Fall.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis Trends are down with no objectives. Support is at 1453 1451, and 1441 September and resistance is at 1498, 1611, and 1518 September

CORN AND OATS
General Comments: Corn and Oats closed lower in response to forecasts calling for hotter and drier weather for the Midwest later this week. Hurricane Beryl is likely to bring some much needed precipitation to the southern and eastern Midwest while northern and western areas stay mostly dry. It should turn hot after that for most areas. Weakness was based on higher than expected planted area estimates released by USDA along with sharply higher than expected quarterly stocks data and strength coming from rallies in Soybeans and Wheat. The US weather features moderate temperatures and increasing chances for rains. Northern areas such as southern Minnesota that have had way too much rain and flooding is still reported.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Corn are down with no objectives. Support is at 388, 382, and 376 September, and resistance is at 429, 432, and 443 September. Trends in Oats are mixed. Support is at 302, 296, and 290 September, and resistance is at 322, 327, and 338 September.

SOYBEANS
General Comments: Soybeans and the products closed lower. Hurricane Beryl is expected to bring beneficial precipitation to areas of the southern and eastern Midwest where conditions have been too dry until now. Northern and western areas should turn drier which is also beneficial for crops.. Reports indicate that China remains an active buyer of Soybeans in Brazil but has cut back and increased purchases from the US on demand due to the tax issues in Brazil and on Brazil logistical concerns. Domestic demand has been strong in the US but has suffered as crushers were crushing for oil. Oil demand has suffered as cheaper alternatives for feedstocks hit the biofuels market.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Soybeans are mixed to down with objectives of 1117 and 1094 August. Support is at 1128, 1116, and 1104 August, and resistance is at 1180, 1185, and 1199 August. Trends in Soybean Meal are mixed. Support is at 344.00, 343.00, and 340.00 August, and resistance is at 359.00, 362.00, and 365.00 August. Trends in Soybean Oil are up with objectives of 4660 and 4890 August. Support is at 4510, 4440, and 4390 August, with resistance at 5930, 5990, and 6050 August.
