OPTIONS PLAY: Soybeans Limit Down
Soybeans on the CBOT sold off sharply as speculation that China may raise interest rates curbing demand for commodities.
MY ANALYSIS
Fundamentally, with the potential for Chinese demand to slow for SOYBEANS, the worlds largest consumer of SOYBEANS, prices could continue to fall.
Technically, SOYBEAN FUTURES sold off sharply to close well below the near-term support, indicated by the market closing below the 9 day MOVING AVERAGE. See daily chart below. For more charts, studies, and commentary go to: http://markethead.com/2.0/free_trial.asp?rid=McKinney

Futures, options and forex trading is speculative in nature and involves substantial risk of loss. All known news and events have already been factored into the price of the underlying commodities discussed. The limited risk characteristic of options refers to long options only; and refers to the amount of the loss, which is defined as premium paid on the option(s) plus commissions.
