Grain futures traded mixed after bearish technical selling the prior Tuesday, as traders awaited US-China trade talks and USDA's annual outlook conference with 2019 acreage forecasts. Corn and soybeans recovered somewhat on short covering.
Pending USDA acreage data and a possible US-China trade framework are key catalysts that could move corn, soybean and wheat prices sharply in the coming days.
After 770 past neutral report events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.6%), and +0.7% over 20.
After 563 past neutral report events, Soybeans moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.6%), and -0.1% over 20.
After 406 past neutral report events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.6% to +1.5%), and +0.0% over 20.
