Forecasts are hot & dry
Beans improve by 5% G/E after close
Demand is strong, more sales to China
Will demand increase offset supply increases?
Tomorrow will be great test for beans, but don’t be surprised if they are pressured heavily

Charts
Corn 🌽
Corn held it’s July lows of $4.81 bouncing right off of that support. First upside target is the $5.16 range. Bulls need to hold that $4.81 or we could drop into the $4.50 or so range.
Beans 🌱
Beans have found some nice support in this area. However, given the massive improvement to crop conditions, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see us pressured heavily and test the $12.96 level. If that level doesn’t hold we might look to the $12.83 level. If neither of those hold, bulls need to hold the $12.45 level which is where we made our March and July lows. On the other hand, upside targets are $13.37 then $13.63.
Chicago 🌾
Chicago broke it’s slight uptrend from late May. We are currently sitting at some good support, so hopefully we hold the $6.06 level here. But if it doesn’t hold we might look to our May 31st lows of $5.87 1/2.
KC 🌾
The KC chart doesn’t look too hot for bulls. But we did find support right at our May lows which is the level bulls need to hold to prevent further bleeding.
Minneapolis 🌾
As is the same for KC, we are sitting at support. If this doesn’t hold we could look to test our May 31st lows.
