WHEAT
General Comments:   Wheat was a little higher last week, but trailed the rallies in Corn and Soybeans as reports of weaker Russian prices are still around.  USDA cut US ending stocks to 844 million bushels and cut world ending stocks to 262.4 million tons.  Sovecon in Russia raised production estimates to 86.1 million tons, from 85.4 million in its previous estimate, due to increased Spring wheat production found in the Volga valley region.  However, other private analysts question the big production estimates put forward by Sovecon and other large sources and claim they are way too large.  The Ruble hs been weaker to help support higher internal prices paid to farmers in Russia. It remains too dry in Winter Wheat areas and too wet in Spring Wheat areas of Russia.  A French government report showed plenty of production but lower quality.  The Spring Wheat harvest is active and the Winter Wheat harvest is done.  Rains have been good in the northern Great Plains but Canada has been a little too dry for best yield potential and the northern Plains had hot and dry areas earlier in the year.  Russian Black Sea prices have been dropping as late yields have improved.  Southern hemisphere crops appear to be good and Australia estimates that production this year will be high.

RICE:
General Comments   Rice was lower last week and USDA issued bearish reports on Friday.  Production was higher at 208.777 million cwt on increased harvested area and a slight reduction in yields.  Ending stocks were increased to 53.4 million cwt on more production and less demand, especially for export.  The harvest is wrapping up in Texas and southern Louisiana.  Crop condition ratings were mostly good last week.  Chart trends are down on the charts.  The cash market has been slow with low bids from buyers in domestic markets and average or less export demand.  Louisiana reports good but not great yields and quality.  Texas reports average to below average field and milling yields.  Milling quality of the old crop Rice remains below industry standards and it takes more Rough Rice to create the grain for sale to stores and exporters.  Harvest is increasing in Mississippi and Arkansas.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends are mixed to down.  Support is at 1136, 1124, and 1112 November and resistance is at 1168, 1181, and 1201 November.

CORN AND OATS
General Comments: Corn was higher last week as the crop is maturing.  Ideas are that futures have created a low as prices were able to rally on no news or bad news.  The USDA reports were negative for futures as production was increased to 16.814 billion bushels on increased planted area and a decrease in yield estimates.  Ending stocks were increased to 2.110 billion bushels and world stocks were decreased to 284.2 million tons.  Ethanol demand was down 6% from last month at 456 million bushels and there are concerns about feed demand moving forward as feeder cattle imports from Mexico have been banned due to reports of screw worm disease in the cattle.  There are also ideas that US production might not be super strong due to disease such as rust to offset the demand losses.  Temperatures should average near to above normal this week and it should be mostly dry.  Most of the western Midwest has seen adequate or greater precipitation and production ideas are high.  Areas east of the Mississippi River have been very dry for the last month or more.  Demand for Corn in world markets remains moderate to strong.  Oats were lower and made new lows on the weekly charts.
Overnight News:  Unknown destinations bought 148,971 tons of US Corn.
Chart Analysis:  Trends in Corn are mixed to up.  Support is at 420, 417, and 414 December, and resistance is at 430, 434, and 442 December.  Trends in Oats are mixed.  Support is at 319, 313, and 307 December, and resistance is at 329, 338, and 344 December.

SOYBEANS
General Comments: Soybeans and both products were higher last week despite increased production estimates from USDA seen on Friday.  Ideas are that futures have created a low as prices were able to rally on no news or bad news.  USDA estimated US Soybean production at 4.301 billion bushels, from 4.292 billion last month.  Yields were little changed at 53.5 bu/acre.  Ending stocks were increased to 300 million bushels for the US but were a little lower for the world at 264.1 million tons.  Cool and dry weather has been seen recently in the Midwest.  The dry weather could hurt pod fill and bean size. A drop in condition ratings by USDA was expected and given as a reason to buy.   China has not bought US Soybeans yet and traders are worried that demand for the new crop will be a lot less this year. Good growing conditions continue in the Midwest with cool and mostly dry weather in the forecast.  Prices are still higher in Brazil, but China and other buyers are still buying there for political reasons.  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 mixed to up.  Support is at 1035, 1022, and 1012 November, and resistance is at 1055, 1063, and  1074 November.  Trends in Soybean Meal are mixed.  Support is at 274.00, 270.00, and 266.00 October, and resistance is at 290.00, 293.00, and 295.00 October.  Trends in Soybean Oil are mixed.  Support is at 5050, 4940, and 4840 October, with resistance at 5240, 5340, and 5440 October.

PALM OIL AND CANOLA
General Comments:   Palm Oil futures were higher last week and closed today for a holiday.  Demand for export has been strong to start the month.  There was talk that India will soon be buying a lot with festivals coming soon.  Ideas that current increased production levels mean higher inventories in MPOB monthly data are still around.  Canola was higher.  Concerns remain about demand potential.  The Canadian government is moving now to support farmers in the face of the Chinese demand loss and also in the face of the Trump tariffs.  Trends are up on the daily charts and are turning up on the weekly charts.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Canola are mixed.  Support is at 610.00, 602.00, and 596.00 November, with resistance at 636.00, 653.00, and 661.00 November.  Trends in Palm Oil are mixed to up.  Support is at 4380, 4340, and 4300 November, with resistance at 4530, 4590, and 4650 November.
