Corn And Wheat Prices Trending Up Towards The Spring

There's some upward potential in the coming months for corn and wheat prices.

Marty Hibbs of the Grain Farmers of Ontario notes corn made it's way back up to $3.60 and $3.65 resistance levels during the holiday-shortened week.

He says corn looks like it's ready to try and close above those levels, and if that's the case, producers could see a 15 to 20 cent rally.

Support currently remains at $3.35 with overhead resistance set at $3.65.

The analyst adds wheat prices on March's contract were productive this week.

Prices have been pushing $4.20 resistance levels.

Hibbs feels a close above $4.25 needs to happen before producers should get excited.

He says the $4 support level is now solid and a move higher is likely for the spring.

Soybean prices continue to hang around the $10 support level.

Hibbs points out the soybean market is not as bullish as corn's, and overhead resistance remains between $10.30 and $10.60 on the March contract.
