WHEAT                                 

General Comments:  Wheat markets were a little lower for the week in Chicago and lower in Minneapolis.  The USDA production and supply and demand reports were viewed as neutral to negative for prices.  USDA cut domestic production due to the new survey of Spring Wheat and Durum production.  It trimmed domestic and export demand but still cut ending stocks to 1.014 billion bushels.  USDA cut its average farm price by 10 cents a bushel to $4.60/bu.  World data showed a slight increase in ending stocks against expectations for a slight decrease.  Production increases in the northern parts of the world were greater than production decreases in southern countries.  Chart patterns turned bearish in the short term in Chicago but are less well defined on the weekly charts.  USDA data showed ample world supplies and reduced demand for US Wheat and gave bullish traders little reason to buy.  World prices will still be dictated by what happens in Europe and the Black Sea area and US prices will most likely remain a follower as the US tries to compete for sales.

Overnight News:  The southern Great Plains should get mostly dry conditions.  Temperatures should be mostly below normal.  Northern areas should see mostly dry conditions or a little light snow.  Temperatures should be below normal.  The Canadian Prairies should see mostly dry weather.  Temperatures should be mostly below normal.   

Chart Analysis:  Trends in Chicago are mixed to down with objectives of 501, 497, and 493 December.  Support is at 506, 504, and 501 December, with resistance at 514, 516, and 522 December.  Trends in Kansas City are mixed.  Support is at 418, 416, and 414 December, with resistance at 426, 432, and 437 December.  Trends in Minneapolis are down with objectives of 516, 509, and 504 December.  Support is at 514, 510, and 505 December, and resistance is at 524, 529, and 532 December.

RICE

General Comments:   Rice was a little higher on Friday and a little higher for the week.  USDA made few changes to US production or demand on Friday and showed a slight decrease in ending stocks due to slightly reduced production.  No changes were made to farm price estimates.  World data showed increased ending stocks from last month as production data for India was increased.  Futures reacted in a positive way to the data.  There are some in the trade who think that USD is still too high on US Long Grain production.  Demand for US Rice remains generally positive although the weekly export sales report was not that string.  The export sales pace in general has been very good and USDA could be forced to increase export demand and cut ending stocks estimate in future reports.  The US domestic market is now quiet with the harvest mostly done and no one real interested in selling.  Mills and exporters are thought to be covered but anyone who needs to buy paddy Rice from farmers will be forced to bid higher prices to find much selling interest at all.

Overnight News:  The Delta should get dry weather after today.  Temperatures should be below normal.

Chart Analysis:  Trends are mixed to up with objectives of 1252 and 1299 January.  Support is at 1198, 1183, and 1174 January, with resistance at 1210, 1213, and 1220 January.

CORN AND OATS                   

General Comments:  Corn was lower and Oats closed a little lower last week.  Trends are down on the daily and weekly charts for Corn.  Oats still look ready to rally more in the coming weeks based on the charts.  Corn is still feeling harvest pressure and the lack of demand.  USDA released its production and supply and demand reports on Friday.  It cut production and yields more than expected and futures jumped to the highs of the day.  However, the market gave back most of the gains once the details of the reports were digested.  It also cut domestic and export demand so the ending stocks estimate was only slightly reduced at 1.910 billion bushels.  World ending stocks estimates were also lower by over 3 million tons for the old crop and new crop, but ending stocks are still more than 296 million tons for the world.  Ideas are that USDA can lower US Corn yields again in January.  There is still a lot of Corn to be harvested and many think that yield estimates will drop more as the last part of the harvest gets wrapped up in the next few weeks.  However, the big problem for US Corn has been demand, and it looks like there could be more than enough Corn for any demand at this time.       

Overnight News:

Chart Analysis:  Trends in Corn are down with objectives of 374, 365, and 359 December.  Support is at 373, 370, and 365 December, and resistance is at 382, 384, and 385 December.  Trends in Oats are mixed to up with objectives of 310 and 320 December.  Support is at 301, 297, and 295 December, and resistance is at 308, 309, and 312 December.

SOYBEANS AND PRODUCTS

General Comments:  Soybeans were slightly lower for the week after a lower close on Friday.  USDA surprised the Soybeans market with its production and supply and demand reports on Friday.  USDA made no changes to production even after surveying northwestern areas of the production areas again last month.  The trade had expected it to cut yields and total production.  USDA cut domestic demand and showed increased ending stocks estimates at 475 million bushels instead of a decrease that had been expected.  The market was also affected by news headlines about the trade talks with China.  Word most of the week that a Phase One deal was progressing well and that tariffs on both sides would be cut back as a part of any deal helped support futures for much of the week.  On Friday, President Trump said that he had not agreed to reduce tariffs yet and that announcement pushed futures lower before the reports were released.  The daily and weekly charts show that Soybeans are holding support areas but the market has not been that strong given the great export sales reports and news of more sales on the daily system. 

Overnight News:  

Chart Analysis:  Trends in Soybeans are mixed.  Support is at 925, 922, and 918 January, and resistance is at 939, 942, and 945 January.  Trends in Soybean Meal are mixed.  Support is at 302.00, 299.00, and 297.00 December, and resistance is at 307.00, 309.00, and 312.00 December.  Trends in Soybean Oil are up with objectives of 3200 and 3290 December.  Support is at 3130, 3100, and 3060 December, with resistance at 3190, 3200, and 3230 December.
