WHEAT
General Comments:   Wheat closed lower last week after making new highs for the move as there has been no new  China demand news or rumors.  China had bought some cargoes of US Wheat a week ago but there has been no talk of any additional purchases.  No USDA reports were released due to the government shutdown, but USDA will issue the November WASDE reports and production reports later this week.  Russian crop areas remain too dry in Winter Wheat areas and too wet in Spring Wheat areas, but crop size ideas have increased due primarily to reports of big yields in Spring Wheat growing areas.  Rains have been good in the northern Great Plains and Canada.  It has turned cooler in the Great Plains.  Southern hemisphere crops appear to be good.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Chicago are mixed to down.  Support is at 524, 517, and 505 December, with resistance at 555, 560, and 573 December.  Trends in Kansas City are mixed tso up.  Support is at 506, 501, and 494 December, with resistance at 540, 545, and 548 December. Trends in Minneapolis are not available.
RICE:
General Comments   Rice was lower last week despite ideas that the market is too cheap and that farmers have sold what needs to be sold for now.  The recent selling has been to be relentless and appears tied to the weaker prices in Asia and especially India.  Trends are down in the market.  The harvest is wrapping up in Texas and southern Louisiana.  Harvest is now wrapping up in Mississippi and Arkansas.  California is also about done with its harvest.  Yields and quality are mixed, but quality appears better than a year ago.  The cash market has been slow with low bids from buyers in domestic markets and average or less export demand.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends are mixed.  Support is at 1020, 1012, and 1000 January and resistance is at 1074, 1086, and 1101 January.
CORN AND OATS
General Comments: Corn was lower last week but held the recent trading range as the Supreme Court is deciding on the Trump tariffs.  Trends are sideways in the market.  Most USDA reports are cancelled as the government is still closed, but the November WASDE and production reports are to be issued on time later this week.  There is talk in the country that Corn production is being overestimated by analysts.  The harvest is winding down in all areas of the Midwest.  There are ideas that US production might not be super strong due to disease such as rust to offset the demand losses.  Yield reports are showing at or above APH yields in western areas, with very good crops reported in Minnesota.  Yields have been reported at or less than APH in areas east of the Mississippi River.  Temperatures should average below normal this weekend and there are forecasts for some precipitation.  Demand for Corn in world markets remains moderate to strong.  Oats were a little higher.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis:  Trends in Corn are mixed.  Support is at 427, 425, and 419 December, and resistance is at 442, 450, and 456 December.  Trends in Oats are mixed.  Support is at 282, 274, and 268 December, and resistance is at 304, 310, and 316 December.
SOYBEANS
General Comments: Soybeans and Soybean Oil were a little higher last week despite a lack of new news or rumors of more Chinese demand.  China bought cargoes a week ago but has not been reported to buy anything since.  Soybean Meal was a little lower.  The US Supreme Court is now deciding on the legality of the Trump tariffs.   China is almost done with purchases for this year and as the US will have to compete with South America for sales in a diminishing Chinese market.  The Chinese hog herd is being reduced and this means less demand for Soybeans and Soybean Meal.  The US government has announced that it will support farmers with money, but so far no money has been flowing.  Forecasts call for some precipitation to be seen in the Midwest this weekend.  Temperatures will average below normal.  Export demand remains less for US Soybeans as China has been taking almost all the export from South America due to the Trump tariff regime.
Overnight News:
Analysis:  Trends in Soybeans are up.  Support is at 1098, 1085, and 1070 January, and resistance is at 1136, 1142, and  1148 January.  Trends in Soybean Meal are up.  Support is at 304.00, 300.00, and 295.00 December, and resistance is at 325.00, 328.00, and 331.00 December.  Trends in Soybean Oil are mixed.  Support is at 4890, 4770, and 4710 December, with resistance at 5040, 5010, and 5150 December.
PALM OIL AND CANOLA
General Comments:   Palm Oil futures were lower last week on ideas of increasing supplies.  There are still ideas of increasing production.  The market sentiment overall is turning bearish on ideas of increasing stocks to the market and on some concerns about demand   Canola was a little higher.  Trends are mixed on the daily charts and on the weekly charts.
s.  Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Canola are mixed.  Support is at 625.00, 623.00, and 620.00 January, with resistance at 649.00, 656.00, and 661.00 January.  Trends in Palm Oil are mixed.  Support is at 4060, 3990, and 3950 January, with resistance at 4210, 4240, and 4290 January.
