Watch us on RFD-TV, today at 9:45am CT!

Corn

Technicals (May)
May corn futures are fractionally lower in the early morning trade as prices linger near our pivot pocket from 431 1/2-435, which just happens to be right near the middle of first support and first resistance. We like the upside potential in corn but some of the deferred contracts have a more friendly technical landscape than the May.

Bias: Bullish/Neutral

Resistance: 441 3/4-444 1/2, 447 1/2-450*

Pivot: 431 1/2-435

Support: 421-422***

Fund Positioning

Friday’s Commitment of Traders report showed that Funds were net sellers of about 8k contracts (through 4/2/24), that puts their net short position at 259,556.
