WHEAT
General Comments: Wheat was higher, with Winter Wheat markets still in a corrective phase and Minneapolis Spring Wheat trends trying to turn up again. Trends are still up longer term. The US and Canada have reduced production this year and so do most exporters around the world. Production is less this year in Russia and internal prices have been strong. Dry weather in southern Russia as well as the northern US Great Plains and Canadian Prairies remains a supportive feature in the market although the weather has become old news. The Russian weather has been good for production in northern and western areas but is still trending dry in southern areas and into Kazakhstan. Siberian Spring Wheat conditions have been very good. Europe is expecting top yields in some areas but less yield in others and parts of eastern Europe and northern Russia are expecting strong yields. European quality is a problem due to too much rain in some areas and not enough in others.
Overnight News: The southern Great Plains should get isolated showers or dry conditions. Temperatures should be above normal. Northern areas should see mostly dry conditions today, then scattered showers. Temperatures will be above normal. The Canadian Prairies should see isolated showers. Temperatures should average above normal.

RICE
General Comments: Rice closed lower yesterday in recovery trading. The market has been in a correction for the last week, but the correction might have come to an end in the trading yesterday. Ideas are that demand is not yet strong enough to take up the supply available to the market. The first crop has been largely harvested in Texas and in Louisiana, but the second crop s still in the field and is getting harvested now. Harvesting is winding down in both states now. Mississippi and Arkansas producers are at harvest now. Yield reports and quality reports have been acceptable to many in Texas and are called good in Louisiana. The reports have been good in both Arkansas and Mississippi. Demand was improved last week over the previous week but demand must show consistently strong numbers to give anyone any comfort.
Overnight News: The Delta should get mostly dry conditions or isolated showers. Temperatures should be near to above normal.
Chart Analysis: Trends are mixed to down with objectives of 1322, 1320, and 1292 November. Support is at 1352, 1343, and 1329 November, with resistance at 1365, 1380, and 1385 November.

CORN AND OATS
General Comments: Corn was lower again yesterday in consolidation trading December was lower on ideas of solid harvest progress and ideas that farmers might be selling right off the combine. Demand will be an increasing feature in the trade moving forward as the harvest moves to its halfway point. Trends are mixed to up on the weekly charts and are mixed on the daily charts. Initial yield reports have been mixed, with some lower yields reported due to disease but some higher than expected yields reported in western areas. There are still the drought-reduced crops in the northwestern Corn Belt and northern Great Plains to be counted as well. Most of the elevators along the Mississippi are exporting again which is good news for nearby demand. Oats were higher as the market knows that supplies will be tight due to a drought in the northern Great Plains and Canada. There will not be much in the way of high-quality Oats for consumers to buy in the coming year.
Overnight News: Mexico bought 314,256 tons of US Corn.
Chart Analysis: Trends in Corn are mixed. Support is at 532, 527, and 523 December, and resistance is at 545, 548, and 558 December. Trends in Oats are up with objectives of 636 December. Support is at 587, 581, and 570 December, and resistance is at 608, 612, and 618 December.

SOYBEANS
General Comments: Soybeans and Soybean Oil closed lower yesterday after President Putin from Russia said his country would try to help restore calm to world energy markets Energy futures moved lower and so did Corn, Soybean Oil, and Soybeans. Soybean Meal rallied a little in spread trading with Soybean Oil. The US hopes to get China to buy more ag products here in the US. The weekly charts still show downtrends for all three markets, and the daily chart trends are down in Soybeans and Soybean Meal. Chinese demand has been supportive until now as the country was active in the US Soybeans but China is on holiday this week so no sales announcements are expected. Harvest is moving to the halfway point for Soybeans and a harvest low might be seen about that time. Gulf port elevators are coming on line and exports are increasing.

CANOLA AND PALM OIL
General Comments: Palm Oil was higher today on ideas that supply and demand are in balance or supplies are short. India was the major importer as the country reduced import taxes.. The weekly chart trends are turning up again. Ideas are that Palm Oil got too expensive when compared to the other vegetable oils markets. There are ideas of tight supplies due to labor problems. There are just not enough workers in the fields due to Coronavirus restrictions. Production has also been down to more than offset the export losses so prices have trended higher. Canola closed higher as the harvest is continuing amid good conditions in the Prairies. Farmers are bullish and reluctant to sell and would rather work in the fields. The weekly chart trends are sideways. Production ideas are down due to the extreme weather seen in these areas. It remains generally dry and warm in the Prairies. The Prairies crops are in big trouble now due to previous hot and dry weather.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Canola are up with objectives of 948.00 and 949.00 November. Support is at 900.00, 892.00, and 885.00 November, with resistance at 940.00, 949.00, and 953.00 November.
