Category: Grain Futures

Different grains are traded on the Index, as commodities. Wheat, corn, soybeans, canola and soybean meal are just a few examples. They can be either a short-hedge or a long-hedge. One of the most traded grain futures is corn.

Basically, buying or selling these forms of futures enables the buyers and sellers to lock in prices of the specified grain today for the items that are to be delivered in the future. Therefore, all those who are interested in grains futures must track the performance of the grain on the demand and supply graph as well as its performance on the index. Though it is not tough to understand grains futures, the calculation of risk and returns is something that an average person may leave for an expert to do.

We at Cannon Trading are there to help you to not just understand the markets well, but to act as your personal advisors when it comes to trading futures. And, that’s something that applies for grain futures as well. However, information and awareness come before anything else. That is why, we want you to read through all of these blogs and articles carefully before you decide whether you want to trade grain futures or not.

December soybean oil slowed its rally last months against the fall high and corrected. Now, the chart has recovered and is poised for another challenge of the fall and July highs. If we can break out to the upside with new sustained highs, we have a first upside PriceCount projection to the 68.51 area to aim for.
PriceCounts – Not about where we’ve been , but where we might be going next!

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved. It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk. Learn more at www.qtchartoftheday.com

Rest of the Trading Week: What to Watch Out For + Trading Levels for August 3rd 2023

Rest of the Trading Week, by Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

General:

 

The answer is: Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Singapore and Australia.

The question is: name the remaining countries whose credit is rated AAA by all three ratings companies – S&P Global, Fitch and Moody’s – after Fitch downgraded the United States’ debt rating from its top-tier AAA, down to AA+.

 

Among the contributing factors leading to the downgrade, Fitch cited, “the expected fiscal deterioration over the next three years, a high and growing general government debt burden, and the erosion of governance . . . that has manifested in repeated debt limit standoffs and last-minute resolutions.”

 

Remember in 2011, even though at that time a debt-limit deal was reached, S&P Global lowered the U.S.’s credit rating from AAA down to AA+ and it has not recovered since.

 

Canada is rated AAA by two of the ratings companies.

 

Stock Indexes:

 

Probably not surprisingly, as of this typing, stock indexes reacted negatively to the ratings news with the E-mini Dow Jones losing more than 300 points, roughly a 2% haircut. The E-mini Nasdaq is off ±325 points, a similar 2% correction.

 

Energy:

 

As the stock market foundered, crude oil felt weak in the knees as well and by mid-session, the September contract had sold off $3.00 per barrel from its Sunday opening. This despite today’s EIA crude oil stocks report showing a 17 million barrel reduction in U.S. crude stocks; the largest drop in inventories since 1982.

 

Grains:

 

After trading within 13 cents of its April 2022 highs last week, November soybeans factored in an expected conga line of wet weather fronts moving broadly over the U.S. Midwest and sold off ±$1.00 down to ±$13.25/bushel, a $5,000 per contract move, the bulk of which comprised just three trading sessions. Estimates for this year’s crop are a virtual wild card given the approach of August, its most critical growing period, so expect volatile price movement throughout.

 

Trading Futures, Options on Futures, and retail off-exchange foreign currency transactions involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.  You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources. You may lose all or more of your initial investment. Opinions, market data, and recommendations are subject to change at any time when it comes to Futures Trading.

Bullet Points, Highlights, Announcements

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

General:

 

As expected, today Federal Reserve officials raised interest rates by 25 basis points. This puts the Federal Funds Rate – the central bank’s key borrowing rate – at a range of 5.25 to 5.50. This is the highest level at which Fed Funds have been set since 2001. The vote was unanimous among the Fed governors to take this latest step in the bank’s efforts to rein in inflation and cool the economy. This increase is the latest in the fed’s months-long effort to rachet up borrowing costs resulting in a reduction in demand for goods, services and labor in the economy.

 

WTI crude oil has been repeatedly plumbing its lows of the year between $67 and $70 per barrel the entire second quarter. Yesterday it traded within 10 cents of $80.00 per barrel intraday (basis Sept.) to 3-month highs – a solid ±$12 per barrel move this month; a ±$12,000 per contract move. Analysts largely attribute the increase to recently announced output cuts by Saudi Arabia and Russia.

 

September soybeans traded up 21 ¼ cents today to this crop year’s and life-of-contract highs, closing at $15.56 ½ per bushel. The current rally off it’s late-May lows just above $12.00 per bushel (a ±$17,500 per contract move) reflect the continued sentiment that U.S. soybean crop conditions will continue to deteriorate as harvest approaches.

The September Kansas City- Chicago wheat spread completed its second downside PriceCount objective and responded with a key reversal and corrective trade. At this point, IF the chart can resume its break with new sustained laws, the third count would project a possible run to the 43 Cent area.

July copper collapsed to a new low for the move where the chart has met its second downside PriceCount objective. It would be normal to get a near term reaction in the form of a consolidation or corrective trade upon completing the objective. At this point, IF the chart can sustain further weakness, the third count would project a run to the 3.54 area.

July soybean meal completed its second downside PriceCount objective in March and corrected higher. Now, the chart is threatening to break down where new sustained lows from here would project a run to the third count in the $412 area where it will be normal to see some consolidation price action.

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved. It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk. Learn more at www.qtchartoftheday.com

USDA prospective plantings report tomorrow at 11 AM Central Time

From our friends at Hightower Report

SOYBEANS

 

For the USDA prospective plantings report on Friday, the average trade expectation for US soybean plantings is

88.3 million acres, with a range of expectations from 87.4 to 89.6 million. This would be up from 87.5 million last

year. The USDA Outlook Forum had planted area at 87.5 million acres as well.

 

For the Quarterly Grain Stocks report, US March 1 soybean stocks are expected to come in around 1.728 billion bushels (range 1.600-1.910 billion) versus 1.932 billion last year. Brazil may need to supply up to half of the soybeans that Argentina will import after the worst drought in 100 years devastated its fields and cut 2023 output nearly in half.

 

Argentina may need to import up to 10 million tonnes of soybeans. For the weekly export sales report, traders see soybean sales near 100,000-600,000 tonnes for old crop and another 50,000-300,000 tonnes for new crop. Meal sales are expected near 75,000-250,000 tonnes and oil sales are expected near zero-20,000 tonnes.

 

TODAY’S MARKET IDEAS:

Look for support in November Soybeans at 1291 3/4, with 1316 and then 1337 1/2 as key resistance. July Soybean support is at 1443, with 1464 3/4 as next key resistance. July Soybean Meal support is at 447.30, with 459.10 and 465.70 as resistance.

 

CORN

 

For the USDA planted acreage report on Friday, traders see US corn plantings near 90.9 million acres, 87.7-92.1 range, as compared with 91 million acres from the USDA Outlook forum and from 88.6 million last year. We lean to the higher end of estimates.

 

Traders see March 1 corn stocks at 7.474 billion bushels which would be the lowest since 2014. The range of estimates is 7.240-7.830, as compared with 7.758 billion last year. For the weekly export sales report, traders see corn sales near 600,000-1.8 million tonnes for old crop and 50,000-300,000 tonnes for new crop.

 

WHEAT

 

For the USDA planted acreage report on Friday, traders see all wheat planted area at 48.9 million acres, 45.7-50.0 range, as compared with 49.5 million acres from the USDA Outlook Forum. Spring wheat planted area is expected near 10.9 million acres, 9.8-12.0 range, as compared with 10.8 million acres last year. Winter wheat plantings are expected near 36.3 million acres from 33.3 million in 2022. Traders see wheat stocks as of March 1 at 929 million bushels, 875-1.020 billion range, as compared with stocks last March at 1.029 billion bushels last year. For the weekly export sales report, traders see wheat sales near 125,000-300,000 tons for old crop and 0-150,000 tons for new crop.

GDP Tomorrow + 03.30.2023 Trading Levels

The Rest of the Trading Week Ahead:

By Mark O’Brien, Senior broker

Tomorrow is GDP – Market moving event.

This Friday is First Notice Day for April gold. Holding long positions in this futures contract into Friday subjects you to receiving a delivery notice from the exchange for 100 ounces of gold. You would then be required to have the full notional value of each 100-ounce futures contract on deposit in your account.

This upcoming event may not apply to any positions in your account this time, but if you ever take a long position in a futures contract where the method of settlement for that contract is the exchange of the actual physical asset, for example 100 ounces of gold, 5,000 bushels of oats, 37,500 pound of Arabica coffee, then you need to be mindful of those dates on the calendar that relate to the futures contracts you trade – Like First Notice Day. It can be a costly mistake even if you overlook an important date and find yourself in need of having to change your mind. After being informed that your account has received a delivery notice and you move to do an about-face – called retendering in futures parlance – the exchange may present you with a fine for your disregard of the calendar. Be careful.

For the grain markets and impact on livestock prices, Friday will mark the once a year prospective plantings report.

The Week Ahead:

By John Thorpe, Senior broker

There are few reports with market-moving potential in the March 27 week for the financials, However, for the grain markets and impact on livestock prices, Friday will mark the once a year prospective plantings report.

The third and final estimate of GDP for the fourth quarter 2022 will be reported at 7:30 CDT on Thursday. With the first quarter 2023 already nearing its end, there is far more interest in economic conditions in the January-March period.

Meanwhile, Fed policymakers will be back in public after the end of the communications blackout period from the March 21-22 FOMC meeting. No comments will be more closely attended to than Vice Chair of Supervision Michael Barr’s appearance before the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday at 9:00 CDT. Aside from the committee’s posturing, Barr’s written testimony and responses to questioning will be a warning to other banks to clean up their risk management and any overreliance on narrow business sectors.
