Corn trade is 2 to 4 cents higher overnight with trade chopping around
in the upper end of the recent range. Outside markets are mixed with
crude lower and the dollar weaker. Corn needs better export sales to
garner significant fundamental support with a carryover at 2 billion
bushels, while some recent sales have been announced the soybean trade
is getting most of the interest. The higher futures/cash and the firm
dollar this fall does not suggest the market is trying to find export
demand. The friendly items for corn are a need to buy enough 2015
acres and get farmers to sell their 2014 crop. The large domestic and
world carryovers are fundamentally bearish which means rallies should
be viewed as selling opportunities. Nearby December chart resistance
for Thursday is the $3.85 high with support at the $3.72-73 area where
we find the 10-day and 100-day moving averages. A second daily close
above these major moving averages is a buy signal, but when you reach
a new high for a move and close below the previous high that negates
that chart buy signal, so the action today will be important.

Soybean trade is 2 to 4 cents higher overnight with a little less volatility
overnight than we have seen to start the week. Meal is $ to $5 higher
and oil is flat to 10 points. South America continues to make planting
progress, but some weather questions are lingering. We are in a weather
market so although the huge burdensome world stocks are on the
balance sheet it is not a guarantee until the South American crop is
made. On the chart, January beans moved through resistance at the
100-day area of $10.60 up to a new high at $10.86, but we closed back
below $10.60 which makes it nearby resistance again. Support on Jan is
at the $10.34 10-day, then the $10.11 20-day.

Wheat trade is narrowly mixed across the three contracts overnight with
the spreads continuing to firm indicating better commercial demand.
Cold weather will continue to linger potentially stressing the young crop.
December Chicago came within a penny of its $5.47 100-day moving
average yesterday and is just below it overnight, while KC moved
through its 20-day, at $5.94. The KC 100-day is at $6.33, which is the
next resistance level up. I do not see that much of a bullish story here,
but because wheat is so far off its spring highs, another 30 cents is not a
big deal. The December KC high in May was round $8.50 versus the
$5.99 close today.

Live cattle are called 20 to 40 higher with light follow through buying after
live cattle hit new highs on the back months yesterday, while feeder cattle
are expected to open 10 to 30 lower with the firmer corn trade. The cutout
report had choice up 1.47 at 251.44 and select up .32 at 238.75. Cash trade
interest was limited today with only a few serious bids around and asking
prices fairly firm round $170 cash and $265-8 dressed. Cash trade was in
the $166-168 area last week. Showlists were generally tighter on the week
which should limit trade until later in the week, and there are signs that
packers are successfully slowing chain speeds. On the December Live
Cattle Chart we are just above the 20-day and 10-day, both around
$166.70, and the next downside major moving average is support at
$164.15, which is the 50-day. Resistance is at $170.

Lean hog trade is called 30 to 50 higher with follow through buying with
support from cash trades and more signs a seasonal low is in. Cash has
helped limit downside this past week and December moved above the 20day and closed above it the past few days providing a positive chart item
to the technical trading crowd. The fresh pork cutout continues to be led
by ham strength but other cuts are struggling. The cold weather is bringing
in more reports of PEDv. Carcass weights continue to be very large which
should limit upside but the cold snap will likely limit immediate gains. On
the chart support is at the 20-day, $89.05 on the December contract, with
resistance at the 200-day up at $92.27.
