WHEAT
General Comments: Wheat markets were mostly lower on ideas of better weather for growing areas, but Minneapolis closed a little higher. All three markets were lower for he week. Rains were seen in parts of Western Texas and in Oklahoma. Kansas got some beneficial rain. Scattered showers are in the forecast for this week in western Texas and rains are possible into Kansas. Rains were reported in the Dakotas and the Canadian Prairies and more is in the forecast. These rains should be very beneficial for planting and initial growth, and more is in the forecast. Wheat remains a weather market, but the demand side has been weak. 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 scattered showers. Temperatures should be near to above normal. Northern areas should see scattered showers. Temperatures will be near to above normal. The Canadian Prairies should see isolated showers. Temperatures should average near to above normal.
Chart Analysis: Trends in Chicago are down with objectives of 666, 660, and 627 July. Support is at 659, 651, and 646 July, with resistance at 693, 707, and 718 July.

RICE
General Comments: Rice prices were lower again on Friday and closed lower for the week on what appeared to be follow through speculative selling due to forecasts for increased precipitation and warmer temperatures for US growing areas. Rice areas have generally been wet although some parts of Texas could use a little rain. Louisiana is saturated. Warm temperatures are finally spreading north into Arkansas and Missouri and the crop progress is improving. The cash market is working through PL-480 tenders for milled Rice but there has been no problem filling the tender. Texas and Louisiana are almost out of Rice, but there is Rice available in the other states, especially Arkansas.
Overnight News: The Delta should get scattered showers. Temperatures should be near to above normal.
Chart Analysis: Trends are down with objectives of 1298, 1272, and 1264 July July. Support is at 1315, 1309, and 1307 July, with resistance at 1328, 1338, and 1347 July.

CORN AND OATS:
General Comments: Corn closed lower on Friday but held to a trading range for the week. It was a war in this pit with buyers and sellers pushing prices above and below unchanged. Improved weather forecasts and higher acreage estimates have been the bearish factors in the market. Western sections of the Midwest got crops planted with speed, but eastern areas are slower. Emergence has been about average in all areas. Emergence has been slow due to cold temperatures but the Midwest has warmed up last week and is expected to stay generally warm this week. There will be precipitation that will benefit crops. Overall planting and initial growth conditions should be fairly good over the next week. There are problems with 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. Reports indicate that crops are being stressed due to the lack of rain. It is drier in central and parts of northern Brazil, but southern Safrinha areas are forecast to get some timely and somewhat beneficial precipitation. The Winter Corn crop progress is well behind normal and it has been dry in major growing areas.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Corn are mixed. Support is at 653, 637, and 630 July, and resistance is at 671, 674, and 703 July. Trends in Oats are down with no objectives. Support is at 351, 348, and 347 July, and resistance is at 366, 375, and 380 July.

SOYBEANS
General Comments: Soybeans and the products were lower on what appeared to be speculative selling on Friday and were sharply lower for the week, especially in Soybeans and Soybean Meal. Some of the selling was in response to the improved Midwest and Great Plains weather that showed precipitation in many areas with more coming. Some selling came on ideas of less demand as NOPA showed less crush than anticipated early this week. However, it appears that the crushers are having trouble sourcing beans and have been selling as Soybean Meal prices are currently very cheap on a relative basis. The Dakotas and much of the Great Plains as well as much of the Midwest got beneficial rains. There is still crush demand and a little export demand even though the demand is less now than before. 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.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Soybeans are mixed to down with objectives of 1481 and 1387 July. Support is at 1491, 1470, and 1440 July, and resistance is at 1557, 1563, and 1575 July. Trends in Soybean Meal are down with objectives of 396.00 and 391.00 July. Support is at 396.00, 393.00, and 390.00 July, and resistance is at 405.00, 411.00, and 415.00 July. Trends in Soybean Oil are mixed. Support is at 6460, 6300, and 5970 July, with resistance at 6740, 6790, and 7050 July.

CANOLA AND PALM OIL
General Comments: Palm Oil was lower on Friday and much lower for the week. It was lower today in sympathy with other vegetable oils markets. The private sources showed that export demand is running ahead of last month so far this month, but the market fears the loss of Indian demand due to the big Coronavirus outbreak in India that could cut demand. Ideas of tight supplies are still around but supplies are expected to increase in the short term. Canola was sharply lower in all months and was weakest in July as demand is feared to be less because of a strong Canadian Dollar and on improved growing and planting conditions. Worries about South American production are supporting both markets as is dry weather in the Prairies. Some showers were seen in all areas late last week and there is the potential for more this week. Demand is thought to be OK with crush margins favoring a lot of production of vegetable oils to feed the demand but less exports. The demand for bio fuels is about to increase and is one reason to see much stronger Soybean Oil and Canola prices.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Canola are mixed. Support is at 857.00, 837.00, and 828.00 July, with resistance at 903.00, 920.00, and 962.00 July. Trends in Palm Oil are mixed to down with objectives of 3700 and 3300 August. Support is at 3900, 3780, and 3700 August, with resistance at 4080, 4200, and 4320 August.
