July KC wheat loses 50 cents from Tuesday’s high to today’s low. July Chgo wheat loses 40 cents from Tuesday’s high to today’s low. The spec trade is still reeling from Monday’s conditions’ reports suggesting the US crop is in good shape despite ideas of quality issues. We can have a decent sized crop even though the quality is suspect. The recent talk out of parts of Russia and Ukraine flirting with hot & dry took a back seat to the fund selling today. We will continue to monitor that area of the world but so far all we have done is to suggest their crop has topped out but that doesn’t mean it will start declining.
The interior SRW looks mixed – The Ohio River looks stronger while Decatur, IN is softer. I’m not seeing any notable changes within the HRW interior basis. Export values for both varieties appear to be running unchanged. Chgo spreads shoed a bullish bias out to March while KC spreads saw continued leaking. I still think it will be interesting to see how these nearby spreads in both Chgo and KC react as we get closer to July’s first notice day.
Needless to say after the recent two days of selling the wheat charts look pretty ugly, July Chgo has a smattering of support in the mid-low $4.80’s and then better down towards $4.70. July KC shows some minor support $4.40 to $4.35, better down towards the mid-high $4.20’s. The shorter term intra-day and inter-day caution against selling current levels while the daily wheat charts still say we are supposed to be selling rallies.
Daily Support & Resistance for 06/06
July Chgo Wheat: $4.84 – $5.05
July KC Wheat: $4.35 – $4.65
