Ontario Grain Market Commentary for August 8, 2018

By Marty Hibbs, Grain Farmers of Ontario

Wednesday, August 8, 2018 Closing Prices
COMMODITY PERIOD PRICE WEEKLY MOVEMENT
Corn CBOT Sep 3.71 ↑ 05 cents
Soybeans CBOT Sep 8.99 ↑ 08 cents
Wheat CBOT Sep 5.70 ↑ 10 cents
Wheat Minn. Sep 6.33 ↑ 25 cents
Wheat Kansas Sep 5.84 ↑ 19 cents
Chicago Oats Sep 2.64        ↑ 25 cents
Canadian $ Sep .76910 ↓ 0.08 points

Corn:
This week was quiet in the corn futures as the price was stable ahead of the August 10 report by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Our indicators are mixed with the short term indicator showing a possible move towards the $3.80 - $3.90 level on the September contract while the weekly indicators are still showing downward pressure in the form of a pull- back in the coming weeks.
Current resistance is still at the $3.80 - $3.90 level on the September contract with much tougher resistance at the $4.00-level on the lead month futures. Major support is still seen at the $3.40 level.
Short term indicators are now positive but the primary trend is still down.

Soybeans:
After hitting our $9.10 target last week, soybeans have stalled in the futures contract price. We have a USDA report on Friday August 10 and this could be an important indicator for future prices. We also received a red buy signal on July 30 which looks positive for the short haul.
Short term indicators are looking positive with immediate overhead resistance at the $9.40 - $9.60 level while initial support is seen at the $8.75 level based on the September futures.  Our $8.20 lows are very critical at this point and a retest of this area, although not expected, would not be a good sign technically. The primary trend remains down.

Wheat:
Wheat had another good week hitting our anticipated $5.80 - $6 target from our last commentary ($5.94 to be exact) before settling back to the $5.70 range on the September futures contract. This completes our projected move from our comments since we outlined it back in early July. This, of course, does not mean we cannot go higher, but my feeling is that unless we get a big surprise in the August 10 report, we will not do much better than $6 on the September futures before starting a protracted correction that can last for weeks. If on the other hand, we do get a breakout to the upside by a surprise report, we could expect an exaggerated move to the upside, possibly from a short covering rally and then the correction.
Support is now seen at the $5.20 - $5.30 area, while overhead resistance is pegged at the $6 area based on the September futures. A breakout short covering rally on a surprise in the report could extend this move towards the $6.25 level on the September futures.
Short and intermediate term indicators are positive and the primary trend is bullish with the potential of a correction back toward the $5 price point based on the September futures.

Harvest 2018 Grain prices as of the close, August 8, 2018 are as follows:
SWW @ $258.02/MT ($7.02/bu),  HRW @ $265.19/MT ($7.22/bu),
 HRS @ $261.84/MT ($7.13/bu),   SRW @ $262.80/MT ($7.15/bu).
