USDA Report Day!Fundamental Spotlight
USDA Report out at 11am CT
Ukraine Advances
It's being reported that the Ukranian military has recaptured roughly 3,000 square kilometers of territory that was being occupied by Russia. That is roughly 740,000 acres.
US Dollar & Data
The US Dollar has retreated to trendline support (see chart below). There is a lot of inflation related data this week and a fed meeting next week that could have big implications for the currency and thus commodities such as grains.
Corn
December corn futures have been choppy since the Sunday night open as the market braces for today's USDA report. The market remains entrapped by the support and resistance levels, which keeps them unchanged into this week's trade. A breakout and close above 687 could open the door for a bigger directional move out above the $7.00 handle. A failure could take us back to the low end of the recent range, 647-650ish.

CORN - SHORTHead and shoulders not withstanding nor the break of the LT trend, this is a nice rally to take a stab at a short in the current commodity deflation we are experiencing.
No real wave pattern yet even lower time frames but given the macro and the price, volume, volatility calculated daily range near its top end, that confluence or an emerging pattern is believed (by me) will come soon. And its at a (random line, not really part of a strategy) that some may identify as an area to sell as well

It's corn!
Corn Futures ZC1 - Spooling Like a TurboBecause virtually the whole world is suffering from massive drought this summer, many crops are in bad shape. This is true with the U.S. cotton crop and it's also true with the U.S. corn crop, which according to USDA reports, barely half of is in good or excellent condition as of last week.
This is significant because the U.S. is the largest global producer of both, and by a huge margin.
This gives good cause to believe that a pump is on the horizon, but when, and how easily will it arrive?
The good news is for latecomers is that it seems as if the Ukraine panic pump and dump from April+ bottomed out in July, based on recent price action. "The second mouse gets the cheese."
There's a big gap on corn and wheat remaining from the June doom candle, which should transpire as a range that gets eaten into as we head into later September and October.
Winter may very well be new all time highs, because the world and humanity is in a lot of trouble. The environment is not in good shape, but to understand what this really means, you have to throw away the leftist-socialist-establishment "carbon" narratives, because those things are not only distractions, but they exist as a Communist Party pretext to take away your Freedom of Movement.
But just look at the lack of water and functioning ecosystem and ask yourself how long the happy is going to remain in North America.
The situation in Europe is already very dangerous.
Regardless, with the way price action has traded this month, it seems likely that corn futures has a good shot of breaking July's high before the end of the month. But it also looks like it may not run in a straight line up and take care of that business on Monday or Tuesday.
If you get a retrace into the 597 range, it seems there's a functional trade. However, it's entirely possible that August fails to break July's high. But if you can get out over 640 all the same before the month closes, you'll have done pretty well.
As for the rest of that gap above, I don't think we see that until the next commodities supercycle starts, likely beginning to ramp in late September-October.
Today is like a turbocharger. They all take a bit to spool. But once they do, it's really fun.
Unless you're the one standing in front of the Ferrari.
Corn Futures Continue to Slide LowerFundamental Spotlight
Flash Sale Alert
Private exporters reported sales of 167,000 metric tons of soybeans for delivery to China during the 2022/2023 marketing year.
(More) Lower Yield Estimates
Commodity Consultant, Dr. Michael Cordonnier released his yield estimate for the U.S. corn crop. He dropped his estimate 3 bushels per acre, to 170 bpa. As mentioned, several times over the last week+, we feel the market has digested the lower yields and believe the market is likely trading closer to a 170-172 yield, below the most recent USDA estimate of 175.4.
Taiwan Strait
U.S. military vessels and aircraft have returned to the Taiwan Strait as tensions escalate. It's being reported that Taiwan fired shots at a done belonging to mainland China. We don't believe that this conflict will go away anytime soon. If the tensions rise to the point of U.S. intervention, it would likely be extremely bearish for grain futures.
Outside Markets
Outside markets were sharply lower yesterday with indices down to their lowest level since the end of July. Crude oil futures were sharply lower yesterday, erasing all the gains and then some from the previous session. That weakness has spilled into today's session, with October futures currently trading down another 3% and below the psychologically significant $90 handle.
December corn futures are lower to start the day, filling the gap left from Sunday night. If the Bulls fail to defend this pocket, we could see prices pullback towards the low end of the back half of last week's range, near 650. We discussed our near-term outlook in yesterday afternoon's Tech Talk: Watch Now!

Corn Shortage! Blah Blah BlahThis week has brought about news on the projected corn yields dropping marginally, which in turn, is pushing this beast into higher territory. As we check out the chart we can see we have a significant golden pocket that will act as the Berlin Wall for corn. Prices below the golden pocket will act as East Berlin, controlled by the soviets during the Cold War. Trapped in a descending trend. If corn manages to push past the golden pocket + trend line resistance, corn will now be on the west side of the Berlin Wall. Free to explode into the June highs of $7.5.
In this analogy, I personally think that the soviets will maintain control and rule over corn until harvest is over. Corn harvest has started in the south and will continue into Nov. As we harvest we will have more corn in the bins and ready to use. Which will lead to lower prices IMO. Simple supply and demand.
Based off of the chart technicals, I am even more confident in saying that corn will be rejected because of where the GP and trend resistance lays. Once price reaches those levels I am expecting to see a bearish divergence on all three oscillators, and then I will go short big time. This could be a multi-month trade. But as always take profits on your way at key targets.
Major short target: $5.70-$5.30
Chinese Data Sends Grain Markets LowerFundamental Snapshot
China
Weaker than expected growth in China was reported overnight, with real estate leading the way to the downside. The weaker than expected data prompted their Central Bank to announce a surprise interest rate cut. We are seeing the slower growth data have ripple effects in commodities this morning with oil down over 5% and soybeans down over 3%, just to name a few.
U.S. Dollar
The US Dollar is firming on the back of poor Chinese data, continuing the relief rally from Friday. The U.S. dollar was able to defend 105, which was previous resistance in May and June and the eventual breakout point in July. If the dollar continues to rally, it could be a headwind to some commodities.
Weather
Weater throughout the Midwest looks cooler and wetter for the next 1-2 weeks. For some problem areas, it may be too little too late. The conversation around weather will be shifting to South America in the coming weeks as they begin planting.
Corn
December corn futures "broke out" above resistance on Friday which took prices to the 50-day moving average and our next resistance, 640 1/2. Futures are weaker this morning, giving back all of the gains from Friday and then some. This takes prices back to trendline support. A failure to defend this area could open the door for a retest of the psychologically significant $6.00 handle.

Corn Gains Ground Ahead of Tomorrow's WASSDE Report
Fundamental Snapshot
WASDE Estimates
Reuters has complied estimates for Friday’s WASDE report. The average analyst estimate for corn yield is 175.9, with production at 14.392. The average estimate for soybean yield is 51.1, with production at 4.481. Over the years, the August report has been known to offer big surprises to the market.
Weekly Export Sales
Corn: Net sales of 191,800 MT for 2021/2022 were up noticeably from the previous week and from the prior 4-week average. Net sales of 191,300 MT for 2022/2023 were reported.
Soybeans: Net sales reductions of 66,700 MT for 2021/2022. Net sales of 477,200 MT for 2022/2023.
Wheat: Net sales of 359,200 metric tons (MT) for 2022/2023 were up 44 percent from the previous week, but down 34 percent from the prior 4-week average.
Corn
December corn futures have been testing the upper end of the recent range for the past 2 ½ sessions, that comes in near 625-630. This pocket also contains the 200-day moving average. If the Bulls rea able to chew through this pocket we could see an extension towards 650, which is both psychologically significant and technically significant. A move out above there could spark a bigger directional move, until then we continue to believe there will be plenty of short-term opportunities for participants on both sides of the market.

Corn Futures A small update on the corn futures possible breakout of a channel. We have even more confirmation of a channel now, with a total of 6 obvious points, 3 on each side of channel. The breakout of the channel should result in a big movement, I personally believe, it will be a shortside trade, however, we must wait for confirmation before making any major decisions.
Corn Corn Corn 🌽🌽🌽This is my plan for corn. It is being orientated mainly on seasonality. That means:
I expect the price to drop a bit further or to go sideways during this summer.
According to seasonality, the low should occur around September.
Then the corn price should rise again according to typical seasonal patterns.
IF the FED keeps increasing the interest rates, the dollar's value will increase, and the price of corn shouldn't get so high.
IF the FED stops increasing the interest rates, the price of corn gets an inflation bonus on top.
I expect a food shortage to come up at the end of this year or next year, maybe because of the lack of fertilizer, infrastructural problems, or something else.
