Oryza Afternoon Recap Chicago Rough Rice Futures Remain Under Pressure as Grains Selloff in Response to Unimpressive Export Sales Data
Dec 12, 2013
Daily Rice E-Newsletter by Rice Plus Magazine www.ricepluss.com News and R&D Section mujajhid.riceplus@gmail.com Cell # 92 321 369 2874
Chicago rough rice futures for January delivery settled 1.5 cents per cwt (about $0.44 per ton) lower at $15.460 per cwt (about $341 per ton). Rough rice futures remain on the defensive slipping slightly again today on another day of reduced trade activity. Traders noted very little outright trading as the focus remains on the January/March spread as market participants continue to keep an eye on the lack of registered warehouse receipts. Market vets point out that it is very uncommon for there to be such a low number or receipts at this point in the year and feel that it confirms their suspicion that supplies remain historically tight. The other grains fell today led by losses in the soy complex; soybeans finished the day about 1.5% lower at $13.2375 per bushel; wheat finished about 1.1% lower at $6.3475 per bushel; and corn finished the day about 1.1% lower at $4.3425 per bushel. U.S. stocks mostly slid on Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 extending losses into a third session, as investors considered the timing of any reductions in the Federal Reserve's monetary stimulus. After Wednesday's 129.59-point drop, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was again down triple digits. Consumer staples and technology were the hardest-hit and utilities were the sole sector in 10 to gain as the S&P 500 also declined. Erasing gains, the Nasdaq turned lower. U.S. stock markets are currently trading down about 0.6%, gold is trading about 2.5% lower, crude oil is seen trading about 0.3% higher, and the U.S. dollar is seen trading about 0.4% higher at about 2:00pm Chicago time. Looking to the daily continuation chart of Chicago rough rice futures for January delivery, the market continues to find support provided by the lower Bollinger band, noted today at $15.430 per cwt (about $340 per ton), but remains technically bearish. The faster moving 10-day moving average has fallen to cross below both the 20day and 100-day moving averages, confirming that the market has indeed moved into a short-term, multisession, bearish trend. Todays action has maintained the recent trend of marking lower lows and in turn provides a negative forecast for tomorrows trade direction. Todays trading range is noted as $15.435-$15.560 per cwt (about $340-$343 per ton).Wednesday, there were 256 contracts traded, down from 1,329 contracts traded on Tuesday. Open interest the number of contracts outstanding on Wednesday decreased by 55 contracts to 7,745. Tags: chicago rough rice futures, U.S. rice prices, U.S. rice market
