Ag Knowledge: Winter Wheat Awakens (& What it Could Mean for Corn) Video Analysis

January 2, 2018 by Tom Dosdall

Good afternoon and Happy New Year!

Cold weather across the US has woken the winter wheat bulls while hot and dry conditions in Argentina look to return to the headlines again at least for the next 10 days. I don’t know how the weather forecasts will change going forward but I do notice a few things that have changed from a technical perspective since our last video:

Wheat managed to close above its descending bear trend line and 50 day moving average for the first time since July
Soybeans are near oversold
Corn is testing but has not yet broken its key level 355’2 (March)
The US Dollar is at its lowest value since September, supporting exports

Have a great day!
