New Podcast
In this podcast we go over our thought in the equity, metals, grain, and livestock markets. We like buying the dips in the S&P, silver, and gold. The WASDE in September could be a little bearish against expectations for corn and soybeans. We also like cattle over hogs heading into the fall/winter. Make sure you take a listen to this latest Turner’s Take Podcast!

Emini S&P 500
I’ve always said the stock market tends to be “long only”. That is not 100% accurate but there is usually only a 15% short interest in the equities markets, which means the the other 85% is long. When you also consider the Fed and the US Government will enact policies and stimulus for the benefit of the market, it is hard to be bearish for any extended period of time.
I still like buying the dips but at 3500 the S&P 500 looks a little overvalued. I’m not one to short the stock market but I’ll be willing to by the dip. The election is not too far off and that event tends to put some volatility in equities. The last time we had a Presidential election the moves were large to both sides.

S&P 500 Chart
Gold & Silver
The Fed recently came out and said they are more concerned about unemployment than inflation. That is good for those who make up the 10% unemployment rate in the United States. It is not great for the value of the US Dollar and that is why we continue to like gold and silver. We expect the Fed and the US government to provide more stimulus for citizens and the economy, but we don’t that happens until after the election. It is rare for the Fed to act before an election and I can’t see the Republicans and Democrats agreeing on anything between now and November 3rd. I like buying the dips. I would use weakness in Sept and Oct to build a position for later this year.

Dec Gold
Grains & Oilseeds
We were filled selling 20% of new crop soybeans at $9.50. Turner’s Take Ag Marketing is now 50% sold for expected production at an average price of $9.55 basis Nov futures. The newsletter also has an existing order to sell 10% of 2021 soybeans at $9.50 basis Nov 2021 futures
I expect corn and soybeans to trade in a range between now and the WASDE. The market has priced in a good bit of yield loss in both corn and beans. It is important to note the USDA historically tends to make small decreases in yield changes from Aug to Sept during dry months. We could see a bearish surprise against expectations in the Sept 11 WASDE. We’ll be looking to buy puts ahead of the report.
*Keep an eye on the 200 Day MA (green line) for Dec Corn. The market has not been able to close above the 200 day. For this to happen the trade needs to believe corn yields are 174 or lower and carryout is below 2.0 billion.

Dec Corn
Livestock
Hogs have rallied as of late due to strong exports and cash prices but there is a lot of supply coming to the market. Fall and winter also tend to be bearish periods seasonally for lean hogs. Cattle on the other hand has been coming down but we see demand picking up for the 4th quarter and supplies getting tighter into the end of the year and Q1 of 2021. In the short term we are bearish livestock and the play is to sell hogs. In the long term we like cattle and will be looking to buy Dec or Feb LC on the breaks.
