WHEAT
General Comments: Wheat was lower yesterday on ideas of solid harvest progress and good yields. USDA kept ending stocks levels close to trade estimates in the WASDE reports released on Friday. Yields were increased slightly but demand ideas were solid. Harvest conditions for Winter Wheat appears to be good in the US and Spring Wheat development is good. Rains have been good in the northern Greasy Plains but Canada has been a little too dry for best yield potential. Russia is still being watched for dry weather that could hurt yields and Ukraine is watched for the same reason and because of the war that could destroy some fields. Southern hemisphere crops appear to be good.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Chicago are mixed to up Support is at 535, 521 and 508 September, with resistance at 568, 572, and 582 September. Trends in Kansas City are mixed. Support is at 516, 504, and 498 September, with resistance at 550, 565, and 578 September. Trends in Minneapolis are not available.
RICE:
General Comments Rice was a little lower yesterday in light volume trading. USDA decreased production estimates but also cut back on demand estimates in its monthly WASDE report. Ending stocks were up 0.6 million cwt to 3a4.6 million. Weaker Asian prices are still around and are still a drag on US futures. South America has been offering less. Chart trends are still mostly down on the daily charts. The cash market has been slow with mostly quiet domestic markets and average export demand. Milling quality of the Rice remains below industry standards and it takes more Rough Rice to create the grain for sale to stores and exporters. Rice is heading in most growing areas now. Condition has been rated as good and the ratings by USDA are above last year.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends are down. Support is at 1266, 1254, and 1242 September and resistance is at 1333, 1369, and 1392 September.
CORN AND OATS
General Comments: Corn was higher yesterday on ideas that futures were cheap enough for now. It was the only market to move higher yesterday. USDA on Friday cut its production estimated slightly but kept a year on year increase in ending stocks levels intact. The weather forecasts remained cooler this week. Reduced heat and some showers are expected in the Midwest this week, but temperatures could turn warmer this weekend with more wet weather possible early next week. A moderate drought is seen near the Chicago area, but the drought area is shrinking. The rest of the Midwest has seen adequate or greater precipitation. Demand for Corn in world markets remains strong. Oats were higher
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Corn are mixed. Support is at 390, 387, and 384 September, and resistance is at 406, 414, and 418 September. Trends in Oats are mixed to down. Support is at 360, 349, and 339 September, and resistance is at 383, 388, and 394 September.
SOYBEANS
General Comments: Soybeans and Soybean Meal were lower again yesterday on good growing conditions in the Midwest. Soybean Oil was higher. USDA on Friday made no important changes in the WASDE data but did modify production slightly based off of the acreage estimates from June. Lower priced offers from Brazil in the world market are still important to the US price action. The market could remain under pressure as Brazil basis levels have been under pressure the last few weeks and prices in world markets for Brazil Soybeans are now less than those from the US. Export demand is in its seasonal doldrums. Export demand remains less for US Soybeans as China has been taking almost all the export from South America.
Overnight News:
Analysis: Trends in Soybeans are down. Support is at 983, 970, and 958 August, and resistance is at 1017, 1025, and 1030 August. Trends in Soybean Meal are mixed to down. Support is at 265.00, 262.00, and 259.00 August, and resistance is at 276.00, 282.00, and 287.00 August. Trends in Soybean Oil are mixed. Support is at 5150, 5080, and 4920 August, with resistance at 5600, 5720, and 5840 August.
PALM OIL AND CANOLA
General Comments: Palm Oil futures were lower today. Ideas that current increased production levels mean higher inventories in MPOB monthly data are still around. Canola was higher. Trends are mixed to up on the daily charts and on the weekly charts. The weather has generally been dry for planting and crop development in the Prairies with warm and dry weather around lately.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Canola are up. Support is at 683.00, 679.00, and 665.00 November, with resistance at 707.00, 717.00, and 738.00 November. Trends in Palm Oil are up. Support is at 4080, 4010, and 3960 September, with resistance at 4210, 4270, and 4310 September.
