SINGAPORE: CBOT corn December may test a resistance at $5.71-1/4, a break above which could lead to a gain to $5.86-1/2.

The contract has broken a lower resistance at $5.59. The next resistance will be at $5.71-1/4. A big part of the gap forming between July 2 and July 6 has been filled.

It looks like a common gap and may be totally covered.

A break below $5.59 could open the way towards $5.46-3/4. On the daily chart, the nature of the rise from the July 9 low of $5.07 remains unknown.

It could be either the extension of the consolidation within a wedge, or a resumption of the preceding uptrend from $3.57.

US MIDDAY: Corn, soya and wheat up
