Wheat


Wednesday’s Recap
Wheat futures were mostly higher Wednesday with the July contract finishing the session at a one week low of 534’2, off 0’2, over a tight trading range. Across all maturities, volume was 158,921, with July seeing 72,453 traded. Overall open interest dropped 5,221 (1.18%) to 436,742. July fell by 17,095, or 9.70%, finishing at 159,198.

Technicals
the 20-day moving average was mentioned in the corn and soybean section and is also relevant to the recent action in wheat (along with many other commodities). That coupled with previously important price points has created our pivot pocket from 536-541. The Bulls need to see consecutive closes above this pocket to start repairing the damage that was done in the first two day’s of the week. Our bias right now is mostly neutral. If you are playing it from the long side, we see first risk down to 521 3/4-527 1/2. Below that and selling could accelerate.

Performance Disclaimer

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.

One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
