Corn Futures Comments for March 12, 2012
By Mark Shore3/10/2012
What can we say about corn basis May? Not a lot.
The market has been a real “yawner” and caught in trading range since mid December based on a longer term analysis when it bottomed at $5.8550. Since January we’ve had a long term buy signal, but the market is currently trapped between $6.67 and $5.99.
On a short term analysis we may be near a new buy signal as the market closed at $6.45. It is possible long and short term signals are converging towards a confirmation, however we need to see this market break above $6.70 to confirm a buy signal.
On a short-term basis $6.98 is our first resistance level, if $6.70 is broken. Somewhere between $7.14 and $7.31 would be the second resistance level. Support can be found in the $6.30 to $6.10 range.
