it is slowly grinding down that way, they will more thank likely push through tommorow. Then 630 is next objective
Quote from Subdude:
How much of the corn rally in recent months would you attribute to the Midwest flooding, ethanol demand increase (which is clearly correlated to oil prices), and just general food price inflation, respectively?
In my mind, the idea of ethanol as alternative fuel is pretty retarded and is not viable long term. Oil may be starting a bit of a correction - too early to tell anyway. The full effects of the floods are yet to be seen. Of course, inflation is a serious problem, but in the end it tends to correct itself when helped by higher borrowing costs and general drop in demand due to slowdown of the economy. Are the fundamentals really there to support even these corrected price levels?
Unlikely. The date to watch is Wed. July 16th when the Senate deals with the half-voted resolution 125 by the House. Probably back to the House or rejected for continued turmoil. If voted, more clashes. Unless Reutemann's proposed reg's get the upper hand and replace the 125.Quote from caroy:

Of course that would work if you believe we are still in a bull market.
Quote from caroy:
Problems in Argentina have a bullish effect on the soybean market - like today with news of more strikes in Buenos Ares driving the market up despite slow sales numbers for beans.
If the strike is resolved quickly then beans from Argentina return to the market as an alternative to U.S. beans driving prices and demand for U.S. beans lower.
