WHEAT
General Comments: Wheat markets were lower and closed near support at recent lows on the daily charts. Scattered showers were reported in west Texas over the weekend, but futures made new highs for the move before selling off in Chicago. Minneapolis held better as dry conditions remain in the northern Great Plains and Canadian Prairies. Wheat remains a weather market, but the sellers were worried about the demand side being very weak. The weather remains too dry in the northern Great Plains and in the Canadian Prairies and farmers have planted into dry soils. Some showers are possible in both areas over the next week. It has been mostly dry in the southern Great Plains. The Great Plains should stay mostly dry but some big rains are forecast for the southern Midwest over the next few days. Demand remains disappointing but the production might not be there for better demand in the coming year. Corn prices are high so demand for feed wheat could increase.
Overnight News: The southern Great Plains should get isolated showers. Temperatures should be near to below normal. Northern areas should see scattered showers. Temperatures will be near to below normal. The Canadian Prairies should see scattered showers. Temperatures should average below normal.
Chart Analysis: Trends in Chicago are mixed. Support is at 712, 701, and 673 July, with resistance at 750, 769, and 776 July. Trends in Kansas City are mixed. Support is at 683, 667, and 661 July, with resistance at 701, 719, and 741 July. Trends in Minneapolis are mixed. Support is at 746, 724, and 710 July, and resistance is at 774, 780, and 786 July.

RICE
General Comments: Rice prices drifted a little higher after trading close to unchanged for much of the day. The cash market has not felt any increased demand lately and mill operations are reported to be on the slow side. Texas is about out of Rice, but there is Rice available in the other states, especially Arkansas. Asian and Mercosur markets were steady to lower last week. New crop months were a little lower. New crop Rice is about planted in Texas and in Louisiana. Mississippi and Arkansas are actively planting.
Overnight News: The Delta should get some big rains. Temperatures should be near to above normal.
Chart Analysis: Trends are mixed. Support is at 1353, 133, and 1329 July, with resistance at 1376, 1384, and 1589 July.

CORN AND OATS:
General Comments: Corn closed lower in most months yesterday, but July closed higher. Ideas of strong demand continued to offer support. Ideas of ra[id planting progress are hurting new crop prices. Temperatures will be cooler this week and there will be precipitation to keep farmers from the fields. Overall planting conditions should be fairly good over the next week. There are also concerns about the production potential for the Safrinha crop in Brazil as growing areas have been warm and dry and look to stay that way longer term. It is drier in central and parts of northern Brazil, and farmers have finally harvested the Soybeans area and planted the Winter Corn. The Winter Corn crop progress is well behind normal and it has been dry in major growing areas. There are worries that US Corn is priced out of the world market as US Corn is the highest price of any offering nation. Demand for US Corn has been coming at a stronger pace than estimated by USDA and it looks like US ending stocks can be significantly less than current projections by the end of the year. Demand for US Corn is expected to drop now due to price spreads between the US and South America, but so far demand has held strong.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Corn are up with objectives of 717 and 781 July. Support is at 671, 653, and 637 July, and resistance is at 698, 704, and 710 July. Trends in Oats are mixed. Support is at 400, 386, and 384 July, and resistance is at 414, 417, and 420 July.

SOYBEANS
General Comments: Soybeans and Soybean Meal were lower and Soybean Oil was higher as Soybeans got hurt by weaker demand ideas. Export demand has been softening for Soybeans for the last few weeks, but the US does not have that many left to sell.. There is still crush demand and export demand even though the demand is less now than before and the market thinks the US is going to run out of Soybeans unless demand can be rationed with high prices. Some of that rationing is going on as US prices are much above offers from South America. The US does not have a lot of Soybeans in the country anymore as most producers have already sold. Buyers are scrambling for what is left. Brazil is rapidly exporting Soybeans. Harvest activities are done now. China has been buying for next year here but now is buying mostly in South America. US internal demand has been strong. Soybean Meal is under pressure due to the big buying seen in Soybean Oil causing more production of Meal as well.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Soybeans are mixed. Support is at 1491, 1471, and 1448 July, and resistance is at 1563, 1575, and 1588 July. Trends in Soybean Meal are mixed to down with objectives of 410.00, 409.00, and 396.00 July. Support is at 412.00, 407.00, and 400.00 July, and resistance is at 424.00, 430.00, and 439.00 July. Trends in Soybean Oil are up with objectives of 6790 July. Support is at 6200, 5920, and 5850 July, with resistance at 6490, 6560, and 6600 July.

CANOLA AND PALM OIL
General Comments: Palm Oil was sharply higher on strong monthly demand reports from private surveyors and price action in the other competing markets. It was higher today on the strong export data and on Chicago price action. The private sources showed that export demand is running well ahead of last month for this month, but the market fears the loss of Indian demand due to the big Coronavirus outbreak there. Ideas of tight supplies are still around but MPOB did show higher than expected ending stocks in its March data. Ideas are that production can seasonally increase. The production of Palm Oil is down in both Malaysia and Indonesia. Canola was lower after a choppy session. Ideas of tight supplies combined with a drought in the Canadian Prairies supported the market but weaker demand ideas were bad for prices. Worries about South American production are supporting both markets as is cold and dry weather in the Prairies. Demand is thought to be great with crush margins favoring a lot of production of vegetable oils to feed the demand. The demand for bio fuels is about to increase and is one reason to see much stronger Soybean Oi and Canola prices.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Canola are mixed to up with objectives of 895.00 and 940.00 July. Support is at 832.00, 808.00, and 780.00 July, with resistance at 883.00, 886.00, and 892.00 July. Trends in Palm Oil are mixed. Support is at 3970, 3910, and 3870 July, with resistance at 4280, 4340, and 4400 July.

Midwest Weather Forecast: Scattered showers. Temperatures should average below normal.
