Nearby July corn futures are supported by higher east US Midwest basis. End users are net buyers on concern over lower US 2019 supply. Farmer selling has also slowed. Key to corn will be US weather over the next 30 days.

July soybeans is nearing next resistance near 8.96. Trade over 9.00 could suggest the trade is concerned about US supply due to late plantings. This could offset the negative bias due to record World supplies and slower China soybean imports.

July Chicago wheat is testing resistance near 5.40. Next resistance is near 5.60. Support is near 5.10. Wheat supported by concern over US winter wheat quality and dryness in parts of Canada and Russia. Wheat futures are also a follower to corn.

U.S. farmers should consider increasing 2020 corn sales near 4.20 CZ0, soybean near 9.50 SX0 and wheat near 5.60 WN0.

The U.S. Midwest weather forecast has wet weather returning to the Midwest this weekend, favoring Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Another system rolls through early next week, which should cover the eastern Plains, Midwest and eastern corn-belt states. The seven day total is expected to be 1 ½ to 3 inches. This could continue to delay soybean plantings in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan.
