February 27, 2015 Written By Chris Robinson Corn: May corn settled up 4 ¼ cents at $3.93 ¼. December corn settled up 3 ½ cents at $4.17 ½. The Spring Insurance price is $4.14 ¾ which is the average of the closing prices for December corn for the month of February.

For the week March gained just 1 ½ cents, while December gained a whopping ¾ of a cent. Typical pre-holiday trade today with choppy 2 sided trade. Funds bought an estimated 2600 contracts. We saw more corn/wheat corn/bean spreading today as we finished the Goldman roll yesterday. US markets are closed Monday. Chinese are expected to be off line as they have a weeklong Lunar New Year Holiday. Traders are positioning for March options expiration next Friday. […]
Grains— No Bull Story? Watch the Technicals and hope for a break out
The Daily Charts for Corn, Wheat and Beans in the Spot month (H) March… All have one thing in common. Bear trend lines going back to The Highs Last July 6-months ago. Trend lines are not infallible. However, barring a fundamental story to move these market, grain traders and hedgers can’t pretend like they don’t exist. Barring any thing else to look at , everyone will take note of these T-lines, especially since they are over 6 months old. A 5 minute trend line is almost meaningless. A 6 month trend line is definitely worth paying attention to. Caveat Emptor with these trend lines: Here […]

We’re at the top— Now What? — Ask the Fed…
It seems to me it makes more sense here to protect paper profits here, hope for a new leg higher, and see how this plays out. With the fed getting more hawkish, will the rally continue? Will the rest of the world printing money continue to force foreign money into equities? Those are bigger macro fish than I can fry. Best Bet is to stay long and look for the next 5% move.
