Thanks bcb,

Beans could go to the moon, especially if it stays dry in Mato Grosso and points just south.

That could affect 40% of production.

SA is all sold out and the US is the worlds only supplier of beans until early next year, when the SA crop is harvested............and it got planted late because of the drought, so it will be harvested late.

Limited supplies must be rationed by cutting demand and the only way to do that is with price.

The falling $ also supports higher prices. If it breaks below 91.75

Take note my res: zone was 439.50-443 for March corn off of the corn monthly chart. BUT as usual the High of 439.5 was made at night. Bulls need a close above 431 again or more technical selling will come in.

SA is out of beans though(until early next year) with stocks at extraordinarily low levels. and high demand, so it's going to be frothy.

Look at those support and res: I posted. Today might have been a nice tech bounce for a while. 

March corn 4 week avg 416.50 Defendant today. The July/Nov bean spread. It has held support on the 20 day ma. since at least  Oct. 6th. neat it today.

Now we see if the Rains come for Brazil. Soon very soon

Thanks bcb!

We started the Dec/Jan South America thread yesterday,. picking up where the Oct/Nov thread left off(forecast rains to the drought area of Brazil clobbering prices)

            That little pocket of slightly less than ideal rain shrank on the mid day GFS products.(a tad wetter in that fairly small location).

Its not that big of a deal except to watch in case there starts to be a trend of the models getting drier.

This latest run still has at least 3 inches of rain everywhere during the next 2 weeks.


Argentina could start getting dry though.
