HAVE GRAINS REACHED FERTILE GROUND ON THE CHARTS?
Since peaking in March 2022, shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a composite of CBoT corn Cc1, soybean Sc1 and wheat Wc1 futures has been blighted:
From its March 2022 intraday high, the grain futures composite lost as much as 55% of its value, and in late August, hit its lowest level in four years.
Not surprisingly, grain ETFs as well have been on the back foot. A composite of the Teucrium corn CORN.P, soybean SOYB.P, and wheat WEAT.P funds fell 39% from its May 2022 peak into its late August trough.
Meanwhile, overall weakness in commodities still has the FTSE/CoreCommodity CRB Total Return index .TRCCRBTR down about 8% from its June 2022 peak.
That said, with its weakness, in August, the grain futures composite finally reached a long-term magnet in the form of a 25-year log-scale support line from its 1999 trough.
So far, this line has essentially contained the decline on a weekly closing basis and has offered fertile ground for a recovery. Indeed, in only about two weeks, the value of the grain composite has already grown more than 8%.
If the grain composite did see a major low in August, additional strength may contribute to a renewed advance in the TRCCRBTR. If so, it could potentially help put commodities back on the front page.
This, as long as the support line, which is now around 1,827, and the late August trough, at 1,793, continue to hold.
