  • Hi, My name is Justin and Im with Commodity
    Trading Research, today were reviewing our
    recently published article

  • Grain Prices Rally- Still Room To Profit?

6
  • What a month for grain prices
  • Corn, wheat, and soybeans have all experienced
    strong rallies the past few weeks. Corn is up a
    whopping 21.9 in the past month, while wheat and
    soybeans are up 14.2 and 9.5 respectively.

  • Whats sending these commodities higher?
  • Mother Nature is providing too much of a good
    thing

10
  • Parts of Midwestern US have received copious
    rainfall the past few weeks. While rain is
    generally welcomed by farmers, too much of it is
    a bad thing. Its so wet in parts of Indiana,
    Illinois, Missouri, and Ohio that many corn and
    soybean fields arenow inundated.

11
  • According to a recent United States Department of
    Agriculture (USDA) crop progress report, a larger
    than expected percentage of corn crops are in
    poor condition due to flooded fields.

12
  • Whats more, soybean plantings are behind
    schedule as compared to 2014. As of July 5th,
    2015 96 of the US soybean crop was planted.
    Last year at this time 100 of the soybean crop
    was already in the ground.

13
  • The excess rain has investors worried corn and
    soybean yields wont come in nearly as high as
    previously forecast by the USDA.
  • This weather uncertainty is precisely why grain
    prices are on the upswing.

14
  • Now the question every grain investor is asking
    is- Does this rally have more room to run?
  • Heres the deal

15
  • The sharp late June early July rally is likely
    due to rampant short covering instead of new
    buyers coming into the market. You see, grains
    were heavily shorted earlier in the year as
    traders bet on an ample grain inventories in the
    2015 crop year.

16
  • With that outcome now in question, bearish
    investors are begrudgingly throwing in the towel.
  • So, just how much upside is left in grains?

17
  • Heres my take
  • In last Fridays monthly crop production report
    the USDA said it expects 13.53 billion bushels of
    corn to be produced by US farmers this season.
    Thats down from the 13.63 billion bushels the
    government agency expected in June.

18
  • And while the USDA left corn yield estimates the
    same at 166.8 bushels/acre, most analysts expect
    a slightly reduced yield estimate in next months
    report. The same goes for soybeans.

19
Clearly, theres a bullish thesis for additional
upside in corn and soybeans However,Im wary of
getting long grains at current levels.
20
With grains recent gains coming primarily
fromaggressive short covering, further upside
will likely be much harder to come by. In fact,
I suspect any additional rallies in corn and
soybeans will berather mild compared to the
advance of the past few weeks.
