Cotton Futures-- Cotton futures for the December contract settled last Friday at 87.18 finishing down nearly 400 points this week with all the damage being done on Mondays trade as the tropical storm which was expected to possibly hurt the cotton crop pushing prices higher but the storm amounted to very little sending prices on Monday down 300 points as harvest continues here in the United States with poor chart structure at this time. The trend in cotton now is to the downside trading below its 20 & 100 day moving average; however the 10 day high is too far away right now so I’m advising traders to sit on the sidelines and wait for some better chart structure to develop as the commodity markets have turned negative in my opinion. The grain market continues to weaken and that also could put some pressure on cotton prices in the short term.

Grain Futures--- The grain market continues its extreme volatility especially in soybeans up another $.40 this Friday right near contract highs at 13.26 a bushel all due to the fact that the crop is not very good despite heavy rains across much of the Midwest yesterday especially in Illinois but production in Iowa is dismal with a worse crop than the 2011 floods and the 2012 drought which is absolutely astonishing in my opinion, and it looks to me that these prices are headed higher. As I’ve stated in previous blogs the trade that is been working is to be long soybeans & short corn and wheat and its working again as the real strength is and soybeans as corn is still going to have a terrific crop and if wheat could talk it would bark that’s how big of a dog this market is only up $.04 today at 6.44 only $.05 away from making new contract lows as the fundamentals in wheat are much different than in soybeans. Corn futures are up $.06 at 4.71 basically going nowhere in recent weeks after Thursday’s debacle down $.19 due to the heavy rains and it looks to me that corn and wheat will remain weak for quite some time as the possibility of soybeans continuing towards the $14 mark looks pretty good and if you look at soybean meal prices they have hit contract highs once again as massive demand for that product continues to prop up prices towards historical highs.
