GRAINS

Corn closed up 10 3/4-cents at 4.64.

December corn closed higher on Monday following a friendly USDA supply-demand report. The USDA released a lower yield estimate in the August supply and demand estimates, which came in at 154.4 bushel per acre yield with steady planted and harvested acreage values. Total production was estimated at a record 13.763 billion bushels, off 187 million bushels from the July estimate. This morning’s report triggered a short covering rally with many still believing there will be further acreage reductions to come later in the year. Warmer, drier weather for the later part of August has started to get some play as crop tours begin to put some estimates on the crop. Estimates of world ending stocks came in below expectations for old crop, but above expectations for new crop at 172.99 million metric tons. Export inspections were above trade expectations at 14.759 million bushels. The recent decline in prices has revived old crop sales and exports the past few weeks. The USDA announced another 9.93 million bushel new crop corn sale to Mexico this morning to add support to the market. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening when Tuesday’s night session begins trading.

Second resistance is the 20-day moving average crossing at 4.77 1/4. First support is today’s low crossing at 4.46 1/2. Second support is weekly support crossing at 4.33 1/2.

December wheat closed up 1 3/4-cents at 6.49.

December wheat closed higher on Monday. The USDA provided few changes in their estimates however; today’s rally in corn pulling wheat higher on the day. Export inspections remained strong with 23.789 million bushels loaded last week keeping the current year above 125% of last year. Current price levels are higher than most export competitors, but quality of U.S. wheat is continuing to move wheat. The mid-range close sets the stage for a steady opening when Tuesday’s night session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI are bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If December extends this year’s decline, weekly support crossing at 6.25 3/4 is the next downside target.

SOYBEAN COMPLEX

soybeans closed up 43-cents at 12.25 1/4.

November soybeans closed sharply higher on Monday following a friendly USDA supply-demand report. The USDA lowered its yield estimate to 42.6 bushels per acre in this month’s WASDE report. If this yield estimate becomes reality, ending stocks will get extremely tight if prices do not ration supplies again this year as 3.255 billion bushels will not catch up stocks. This morning’s export inspection report added support as shipments came in at 3.417 million bushels and above pre-report expectations. The USDA also announced another sale of 26.2 million bushels of 2013 soybeans to China and 5.14 million bushels to unknown destinations. World stocks for 2013 were estimated at 72.27 MMT, which was below trade expectations, in the WASDE report. Today’s close above the 20-day moving average crossing at 12.23 3/4 confirms that a pre-harvest low has been posted. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening when Thursday’s night session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI are oversold but are turning bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible neutral to. If November extends the rally off last week’s low, July’s high crossing at 12.97 is the next upside target. If November renews the decline off June’s high, the 62% retracement level of the 2010-2012-rally crossing at 11.08 1/2 is the next downside target. First resistance is today’s high crossing at 12.28.
