Corn, Soy Futures Show Life After Prices Test Chart Support
DTN Closing Grain Comments
Soybean and corn futures moved higher at midweek, recovering from selling pressure to begin the week, with both markets dropping below key chart support in recent session which encouraged bargain buyers on Wednesday. Wheat futures traded lower for most of the morning before rallying back to post a fourth straight higher session on the KC board, still supported by falling crop conditions in the Central and Southern U.S. Plains. News regarding the conflict in the Middle East was slim on Wednesday, with regional countries pushing the U.S. and Iran to extend their ceasefire agreement and restart negotiations. Otherwise, the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz continues, with the Wall Street Journal reporting that 15 vessels have transited the Strait since Monday, compared to 130 per day on average under normal circumstances.

Markets

The Energy Information Administration will release their weekly Petroleum Status report on Wednesday morning at 9:30 a.m. CDT. Later in the afternoon at 2 p.m. CDT, USDA will release their monthly Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Outlook. Traders continue to keep an eye out for new developments in the war in the Middle East.

Weather

Widespread showers and thunderstorms continue across the Central U.S. on Wednesday as yet another system moves through. Though the risks for severe weather are not as great as earlier in the week, pockets of stronger thunderstorms continue to look likely from central Texas up through the Midwest, especially Wednesday afternoon and evening again. Areas of heavy rain may produce more flooding for areas that are consistently hit by thunderstorms, especially in the Great Lakes.
