The September Euro is slightly higher in early trading. The Euro today finds sell stop orders are likely located just below shorter-term technical support at the overnight low of 1.2603 and then more sell stops just below support at 1.2550. Shorter-term technical resistance for the Euro is seen at the overnight high of 1.2645 and then at 1.2700. Buy stops likely reside just above those shorter-term resistance levels. Slow stochastics for the Euro are bearish today. Wyckoff's Intra Day Market Rating: 4.0

GRAINS

Prices were mixed in overnight electronic trading. Corn and soybeans were firmer on hot weather forecasts for the Corn Belt in the coming days, but with chances for rain. Wheat was weaker overnight on a lack of fresh bullish fundamental news. My bias for the trading day today: Choppy, narrow-range trading until noontime weather forecasts, and then prices could make a stronger move into the close.
