Possible Retest and Entry Points

Wheat Futures on the Weekly Time Frame: Building a Base

Looking at the weekly time frame, wheat futures have experienced a strong downtrend from their all-time high of 1430.6, currently sitting about 52.3% below that level. However, the market may be starting to build a base and find support in an area that has seen consolidation and price reactions in the past. This could indicate an interesting area to bet on wheat building a base and potentially moving higher.

Potential Longer-Term Targets: 800 Round Number

If the base-building scenario plays out, traders and investors may consider aiming for a longer-term target of the 800 round number, close to previous highs. For those trading long, it could be worth leaving a portion of the position (e.g., 20% or more) to capitalize on a possible move towards 800.

Different instruments, such as call options, CFD contracts, or future contracts, can be used to play this potential longer-term move in wheat futures.

In summary, wheat futures technical analysis points to a breakout from an ascending wedge, with the next probable target being the 700 round number. Investors and traders should keep an eye on possible retest levels and entry points, as well as longer-term targets around the 800 round number. As always, trade at your own risk and visit ForexLive.com for additional views and insights on wheat futures price forecasts.

MUFG trade of the week: Stay short USD/JPY, sell USD/CAD 0 (0)

MUFG Research maintains a short USD/JPY exposure (spot ref: 134:70) in its TOTW portfolio with a target at 129.00, and a stop at 138.50.

„We are maintaining a short USD/JPY trade idea. While there are risks of further increases in US short-term yields, we doubt USD/JPY will gain to the same extent of traction and see risks of the move higher petering out,“ MUFG notes.

MUFG also added a fresh short USD/CAD position (spot ref: 1.3375), with a target at 1.2950, and a stop at 1.3650.

„We’re adding a short USD/CAD trade idea based on recent developments we view as CAD supportive,“ MUFG notes.

Yellen says outflows from banking system have stabilized but what about within the system? 0 (0)

  • Deposit outflows from the banking system have stabilized. Things have been calm but monitoring carefully
  • Bank lending standards have tightened somewhat , may be more tightening to come
  • Not seeing anything dramatic enough to significantly change outlook for moderate growth, strong labor market and easing inflation
  • Over time, there is risk that financial system sanctions linked to dollar could ‚undermine the hegemony‘ of the US dollar
  • Sanctions do create desire by China, Russia and Iran to find an alternative to dollar

I find it interesting that Yellen said outflows from the banking ’system‘ have failed rather than saying outflows from small banks have stabilized. Jim Bianco highlights that yesterday mega-cap US banks jumped and small cap banks fell 2.1% in a sign that money is flowing in one direction without leaving the system.
