10yr Corn outlook: 1 thought (of many) on the potential course of the corn market for the next 10 years. I feel the job of the current market is to find a price high enough to ration future demand. Could be current price, 8.50, or 9.50. The potential is there for any of those numbers to mark a major swing high for Corn. The higher that mark is nearby, the...

10yr Corn outlook: Potential course of the Bean market for the next 10 years. Previous inflationary markets have caused for the multi year market structure to step up in price ranges. Before that range is found, Beans will need to mark a pivot high enough to ration some future demand. The low found after a major high is made, could mark an area for the future...

Lumber and 30 year Mortgage – weekly scale: FRED 30 year rates lag most mortgage rates already above 5%. It has been since 2018 since rates were above 5% and lumber was sub 300.00. High priced lumber (any high priced commodity) will eventually correct itself. High prices cure high prices. Now the pinch is on and rates are reacting. Cost of money is no longer...

The peak highs in DE and AGCO during bullish markets tend to coincide with the highs in Corn Futures. DE (Deer & Co) and AGCO are attractive growth and dividend paying stocks that do well in steady to strong economies even without strong Ag futures markets because of their exposure to the construction and infrastructure sectors . They tend to over-perform in...

January23 Soybeans – Daily: Back to a daily chart with a few weeks remaining on the Jan contract and trying to narrow the focus for end of year contract activity. The break above the black downtrend line was short lived, Thursday’s close found support at the red Tenkan line. Monday & Tuesday need to come out strong and sustain price above the cloud at 14.42 and...

Soybean – Weekly Cont: The cloud above offers tough resistance at last week’s high of 14.77. A weekly close into the cloud above 14.77, the red Tenkan line will be the next strong resistance at 15.36 (also a 50% retracement target). Support below is the blue Tenkan line at 14.14 and then an uptrend line climbing from 14.00. A failure below could have beans...

December 23 Corn - Weekly: The market structure is difficult to try and define at this stage, we remain in a very sensitive marketplace. Price and Time targets can be fluid, but for now, I like the above targeted areas with the percentage sold as labeled. We do need to be ready to pivot earlier this year to get hedges on against the targets above. **Be ready to...

March23 Corn – Weekly: To much noise in the markets keeps me using weekly charts instead of daily charts. A break into the cloud and move below the blue Tenkan line was a concern, but each week found support against the red Kijun line (currently 6.60). A weekly close below 6.60 now could see continued weakness down to the bottom of the cloud at 6.20. The...

Continuous Corn – Weekly: The charts above are the same, but using different indicators. Both Charts are showing a break of major support this week. A break below the blue uptrending pitchfork on the left and a weekly close below the cloud on the right are both telling us that an important area of support has been broken. Support is in the lower 6.00 area and...

Retail Diesel – Monthly: Currently resting at monthly support of 5.31. (Ichimoku indicator not shown) Daily and weekly swings above and below the blue Tenkan line should be expected. A monthly close below could open the door to the red Kijun line at 4.09. This would be very strong support on a monthly scale. There was a 5 leg event from the 02’ low to the...
