Softs Market Commentary

March sugar closed up 8 points at 24.48 cents yesterday. Prices closed near mid-range yesterday and hit a fresh two-week high on more short covering. Sugar bears do still have the slight near-term technical advantage. Sugar bulls' next upside price breakout objective is to push and close prices above solid technical resistance at the January high of 25.21 cents. Bears' next downside price breakout objective is to push and close prices below solid technical support at last week's low of 23.41 ...

March sugar closed up 2 points at 23.66 cents yesterday. Prices closed nearer the session high but did hit a fresh two-week low early on.

Bears' next downside price breakout objective is to push and close prices below solid technical support at 23.52 cents. First resistance...

Not the End 2/1/12

mbwealth, TraderPlanet.com — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:22:17 +0000

With a more positive outlook domestically and abroad expect commodities that had previously factored in a more dire picture to get back losses from late 2011.

Today makes it five days in row with Crude down just over 1% as of this post trading at six week lows. A close below $98.30 in March should signal lower ground. $99 should cap further upside and I could see prices drifting back under $94 in the coming weeks. Both RBOB and heating oil are having trouble keeping their heads above water as...

The January Effect 1/31/12

mbwealth, TraderPlanet.com — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:46:36 +0000

With one month under our belt how is your 2012 looking?

RBOB, OJ, stocks, feeder cattle and all the metals were the upside movers in the month of January while natural gas was the only negative standout. Will these moves set the tone for trading in 2012?

The move lower has been minor but Crude has closed lower for the last four sessions. Today a $3 rally was rejected as prices will close just above $98 the lowest close in one week. I continue to get mixed signals and would suggest waiting for...

March sugar closed down 20 points at 24.76 cents yesterday. Prices closed near the session low yesterday and did hit another fresh nine-week high early on. The key "outside markets" were bearish for the sugar market yesterday, as the U.S. dollar index was firmer and crude oil prices were weaker. Bulls still have the slight near-term technical advantage in sugar. Sugar bulls' next upside price breakout objective is to push and close prices above solid technical resistance at 25.50 cents. Bears...

Sugar Futures Chart indicates Impending Volatility

Hyerczyk, TraderPlanet.com — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 10:42:45 +0000

The main trend turned up in March Sugar when it crossed the swing top at 24.25 on January 3. The lack of follow-through to the upside triggered a near-term correction, but the market was able to attract new buyers slightly above a key main bottom at 22.62.

Futures Market Analyst James A. Hyerczyk

With the market showing a higher-top and higher-bottom, there is a slight bias to the upside. The fact that the market has been trading in a compressed range is a strong indication of impending volat...
