Weather offers expanding moisture for the central Midwest and Delta beginning late this week and through the balance of the two-week forecast. Weather is similar to yesterday and offers little for bullish fodder. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Wheat spent the night session in positive territory. News is limited. All focus is on row-crop reactions from tomorrow's USDA reports. Technical conditions warn of a push below recent lows. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Corn experienced a non-event night session, but amid overall weak performances, such pre-report action doesn't speak well of this market. Technical conditions warn of a deeper test and possible probe of the September lows. Traders do not expect bearish data from USDA. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Soybeans traded on the defensive all night. Charts appear vulnerable. Traders fear bearish USDA soybean data in tomorrow's reports. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
In summary, we are in pre-report mode amid limited news, weak price action and technical conditions that warn of greater vulnerability than most hope. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
CORN:
Barge Values: October= +60 Z
CZ: Support= 7.35,   Resistance= 7.50-55
**PROFILE: Dec Corn> Price action is weak. Conditions suggest vulnerability to a deeper test of the September low, possibly a probe of that level. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
SOYBEANS:
Barge Values: October= +78 X
SX: Support= 14.90, Resistance= 15.60
SMZ: Support= 450-55, Resistance= 475-80
BOZ: Support= 49.50-50.00, Resistance= 53.00
**PROFILE: Nov Soybeans> Vulnerable to a probe of recent lows. IN SUMMARY, short-term indicators suggest we may have more time to finalize season bottoms and the next several days may lead to a test/probe of recent lows. However, such weakness should be seen as providing longer-term buying opportunities. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
WHEAT:
Barge SRW Values: October= +58 Z
WZ: Support= 8.10-25, Resistance= 9.00-9.10
**PROFILE: Chicago December Wheat> Recent lows remain vulnerable to a probe. Such an event should not be embraced as a trend-establishing move.        Â
