WHEAT
General Comments: Wheat was lower in all three markets Friday, but a little higher for the week, in reaction to the USDA reports. USDA showed that the quarterly stocks were a little higher than expected but that planted area was a little below expectations. The US harvest is expanding through Kansas and adverse world growing conditions are still around. There were more reports of hot temperatures coming this week to Russian growing areas. It has also been very dry there. The weather is still a key, with extreme dryness reported in Russia and parts of the US and too wet conditions reported in Europe. However, US producers are reporting strong yields that exceed expectations so far and very good conditions. Big world supplies and low world prices are still around.
Overnight News: The southern Great Plains should get mostly dry conditions. Temperatures should be above normal. Northern areas should see mostly dry conditions. Temperatures will average above normal. The Canadian Prairies should see mostly dry conditions. Temperatures should average above normal.
Chart Analysis: Trends in Chicago are mixed. Support is at 557, 550, and 544 September, with resistance at 586, 605, and 614 September. Trends in Kansas City are mixed. Support is at 576, 568, and 565 September, with resistance at 601, 614, and 636 September. Trends in Minneapolis are down with no objectives. Support is at 602, 596, and 590 September, and resistance is at 624, 646, and 649 September.

RICE
General Comments: Rice closed a little lower in new crop months, but July closed higher as the contract moves into deliveries. New crop months were hurt by higher planted area estimates. The big US crops are now in doubt from reports of extreme rains in southern growing areas and especially near Houston. Supply tightness is expected to give way to increased production this year and greatly increased supplies this Fall. These ideas are reflected in the prices seen in the old crop and the new crop.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends are mixed to down with no objectives. Support is at 1530, 1518, and 1511 September and resistance is at 1563, 1571, and 1583 September.

CORN AND OATS
General Comments: Corn closed sharply lower on Friday and lower for the week on higher than expected planted area estimates released by USDA along with sharply higher than expected quarterly stocks data. The US weather remains hot and mostly dry except for northern areas such as southern Minnesota that have had way too much rain and flooding reported. The US Midwest is seeing uneven growing conditions and so are Southeast growing areas. However, USDA kept crop conditions high and the market sees no real problem at this time. Oats were mostly a little higher Friday and for the week on good growing conditions found in the northern US and into Canada.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Corn are down with no objectives. Support is at 400, 394, and 388 September, and resistance is at 429, 432, and 443 September. Trends in Oats are mixed. Support is at 402, 296, and 290 September, and resistance is at 322, 327, and 338 September.

SOYBEANS
General Comments: Soybeans closed a little lower and the products closed mixed last week in reaction to the USDA reports on Friday and despite deteriorating growing conditions in the US and on forecasts for less heat and less rain in areas that need it in the Midwest this week. USDA found less than expected plamted area and slightly more stocks than had been expected by the trade. Precipitation chances are high in northern Midwest areas that have already been flooded. 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 1140, 1155, and 1162 August. Trends in Soybean Meal are mixed. Support is at 34400, 343.00, and 340.00 August, and resistance is at 353.00, 359.00, and 361.00 August. Trends in Soybean Oil are mixed. Support is at 4330, 4280, and 4220 August, with resistance at 4430, 4480, and 4510 August.
