Corn

Technicals (July)
Our 3-star technical resistance pocket was tested and was defended again, we've had that defined as 471-474 3/4 (yesterday's high: 472). What we said in yesterday's report still rings true this morning with regards to that resistance pocket: "If you've been long the market, this may be a spot to reduce exposure. If you need to hedge, this is a spot to look at. Keep in mind that we have a WASDE report. If you're in the camp that the short covering rally will continue, options are a great way to help manage risk. Feel free to reach out to our trade desk to discuss: (312) 278-0500. Part of the reason we encourage you to call the desk is because trading is not a one size fits all world. Everyone has different a different level of risk tolerance, time frame, objectives, etc.

Bias: Bullish/Neutral

Resistance: 471-474 3/4***

Pivot: 456 1/2-460 

Support: 448-451**, 441 3/4-444 1/2***

Soybeans

Technicals (July)
July soybean futures traded into but failed against our 3-star resistance pocket yesterday, which we outlined as 1252-1259 (yesterday's high: 1256 1/2). In yesterday's commentary we noted: "If you've been long the market (futures or physical), this may be a spot to reduce or hedge that exposure." We were looking at different options strategies yesterday for those who wanted to take action with that suggestion. As mentioned in the corn section, whether you're a client or not and you're reading these reports, we encourage you to call the trade desk to discuss strategies that might be suitable for you. The reason we encourage you to call the desk is because trading is not a one size fits all world. Everyone has different a different level of risk tolerance, time frame, objectives, etc.

Bias: Neutral/Bullish

Resistance: 1252-1259***, 1305 1/4-1311 3/4****

Wheat

Technicals (July)

Wheat futures are leading the way lower in the early morning trade after stalling and failing against our resistance pocket in yesterday's trade.  That has brought prices back near our pivot pocket from 635 1/4-639.  If the Bulls fail to defend this pocket on a closing basis we could see a continued retracement with the next support pocket coming in from 621 1/4-626 3/4.  

Bias: Neutral/Bullish

Resistance: 655-666****

Pivot: 635 1/4-639

Performance Disclaimer

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.

One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
