Bob Linneman, Kluis Advisors, says that how the markets closed yesterday could signal a sell-off approaching.

“March corn came under pressure after wheat prices backed off the mid-session highs by 15¢. The March corn chart traded below the Tuesday low during the overnight trading, which could trigger further selling if the bulls do not regain control soon. Keep an eye on the spreads in corn and soybeans in the near term. The price action of the spreads so far this week suggests we are ready for a pullback in futures,” Linneman stated in a note to customers.

Linneman added, “The basis levels continue to widen from the record tight levels seen in November and December. On average, the Western Corn Belt is seeing tighter basis levels than what is being offered in the eastern Belt. Will this trend continue as we get closer to spring weather in the U.S.?”
