7-27-26 Crop ratings G/E %
TW LW OH
Corn 63 67 60
Beans 63 66 57

A turnaround Tuesday unfolded on the CBOT as traders consolidated after yesterday's lashing. Crop conditions fell 4% points in the G/E category with the Dakotas being the hardest hit. Problem areas are starting to surface but weather the next 2-4 weeks will be critical. Some areas could still be salvaged and produce near trendline yields but rain better materialize fast for that to happen. Weather forecasts are trying to bring rain into the central US next week but the placement has been erratic.

In a classic weekend weather market fashion, the trade opened sharply lower to start the week. A shift in the forecast had added rain for IL/IA/WI which triggered sell signals for the algos. Crude also fell hard on hope that peace talks with Iran will resume. Crop ratings should decline tonight at 4pm to reflect last week’s heat out west. Was today just an overreaction to change in the weather or will it be a deeper correction that last more than a few trading sessions? That will be key for price direction into August.
