ENERGIES
Crude oil prices are trading firmer in early electronic dealings, on more short covering following recent sharp losses. I don't look for much more downside in crude oil below the $70.00 level. In October crude, look for buy stops to reside just above resistance at $71.00 and then just above resistance at $71.50. Look for sell stops just below technical support at $70.00, and then more sell stops just below support at $69.30. Wyckoff's Intra-Day Market Rating: 5.0
GRAINS
Prices were firmer in quiet overnight electronic trading, on follow-through strength from good gains Wednesday, led by wheat. Wheat has made a strong rebound as it appears near-term lows are in place. Corn bulls are trying to put in a near-term low, and showed good power Wednesday to suggest a near-term low is in place. Soybeans are still the weak sister of the complex, and more downside is likely in the near term. Seasonal studies do favor the corn and bean bears this time of year, as harvest is set to begin for those crops.
