WHEAT                                 

General Comments:  Wheat markets were lower yesterday.  Minneapolis and HRW markets were weaker on ideas of plentiful supplies of higher protein Wheat in the world market.  SRW is finding some support on reduced production but also faces poor demand.  Production increases in the northern parts of the world are greater than production decreases in southern countries and that has hurt the bull case for improved US Wheat demand.  World prices have been weaker in the last couple of weeks.  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.  Chart patterns on daily and weekly charts imply more up pressure on prices this week.

Overnight News:  The southern Great Plains should get mostly dry conditions.  Temperatures should be on both sides of normal.  Northern areas should see mostly dry conditions or a little light snow.  Temperatures will moderate over he next few days.  The Canadian Prairies should see mostly dry weather.  Temperatures should be mostly below normal but near to above normal by late this week.   

Chart Analysis:  Trends in Chicago are up with objectives of 548 and 562 March.  Support is at 533, 529, and 522 March, with resistance at 546, 554, and 561 March.  Trends in Kansas City are mixed.  Support is at 436, 435, and 428 March, with resistance at 446, 451, and 456 March.  Trends in Minneapolis are mixed.  Support is at 512, 508, and 506 March, and resistance is at 522, 531, and 534 March.

RICE

General Comments:   Rice was higher again yesterday but seems to be running into upside targets for the move.  The weekly charts are also bullish but also show the chance for some selling to develop in the short term.  Demand for US Rice remains generally positive and the weekly export sales report was very strong.  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 pay higher prices after not finding much selling interest at all.

Overnight News:  The Delta should get dry weather.  Temperatures should be below normal but near to above normal this weekend.

Chart Analysis:  Trends are up with objectives of 1252 and 1299 January.  Support is at 1236, 1224, and 1214 January, with resistance at 1256, 1264, and 1276 January.

CORN AND OATS                   

General Comments:  Corn closed slightly higher after trading both sides of unchanged yesterday.  The moves helped support ideas that the market action of late last week was a sign of an exhausted down move.  The market has been short Corn as farmers have been holding.  That means that there I very little Corn available to the domestic and international cash market.  Ukraine has been selling and offers from Argentina have been less, but almost nothing is available here in the US and the US is still the king when it comes to Corn.  The charts show a new leg down getting started on Wednesday and then rejected on Friday.   

Overnight News:  

Chart Analysis:  Trends in Corn are mixed.  Support is at 377, 373, and 370 March, and resistance is at 385, 387, and 392 March.  Trends in Oats are down with objectives of 295 March.  Support is at 305, 301, and 198 March, and resistance is at 310, 312, and 318 March.

SOYBEANS AND PRODUCTS

General Comments:  Soybeans and the products were lower again yesterday.  Soybeans have been working sharply lower for the past month as the market is tired of hearing about the potential US-China trade deal and wants to see the real thing.  There does not seem to be any other news of interest to traders in the entire complex.  The US harvest is entering its final stages now and many producers are putting their Soybeans into storage and not selling.  This has caused basis levels to firm in the country and at the Gulf of Mexico.  Domestic demand was strong in the NOPA data.  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.  USDA showed that China continued to be a strong buyer in the US market in its weekly reports on Friday.  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 down with no objectives.  Support is at 868, 865, and 856 January, and resistance is at 883, 887, and 894 January.  Trends in Soybean Meal are down with objectives of 292.00 January.  Support is at 292.00, 289.00, and 286.00 January, and resistance is at 297.00, 301.00, and 303.00 January.  Trends in Soybean Oil are down with objectives of 2990, 2930, and 2890 January.  Support is at 3010, 2980, and 2950 January, with resistance at 3050, 3080, and 3130 January.
