More Agricultural Price Charts

Below I mentioned that agricultural prices have started to cool a bit. Let's look at some individual charts to see what's going on.



On rice's daily chart, notice that prices have clearly broken two different upward support trend lines. In addition, prices are clearly in a downward sloping trend channel



On rice's weekly chart, notice that while prices are still technically in an uptrend they are cooled. However, the weekly uptrends are still firmly in place. And while prices have technically dropped through support that could change by the end of the week. In other words, this could just as easily be a consolidation before a further move higher rather than lower.



On corn's daily chart, notice tow important points.

-- There is still an uptrend in place, BUT

-- Prices are having a hard time getting over 625.
