Wheat

Apr 5, 22 Wheat Go Long My FriendsI've been watching whaet for a while now waiting for a bottom. Hopefully last week was the bottom. I put a Buy Order in at 1000 on Friday and wheat is slowly moving up. With the war and drought going on, spring planting is screwed in Ukraine and Russia which account for about 25% of the worlds wheat. I'm in this one for the long haul - hoping wheat will keep going up to 1300, maybe higher once the world realizes there is going to be a massive shortage. Stay safe. Heiko

Profiting From Higher Food Prices and Shortages in 2022March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, and April showers bring May flowers. In the northern hemisphere, farmers are now planting the crops that will feed the world after the fall harvest season. Mother Nature is typically the primary determinate of agricultural products as the weather conditions determine if there will be enough supplies to feed the ever-growing global population. As the world addresses climate change, corn and soybeans requirements for biofuel have put additional upside pressure on prices over the past years. Moreover, rising inflation has increased production costs. The war in Ukraine presents a unique set of concerns for the products that provide nutrition and fuel. Grains and oilseeds are going into the 2022 US crop year at very high prices The weather is secondary as the war in Ukraine threatens supplies Higher prices in the US- The potential for famine in other regions Food shortages lead to political change Beans above the teens, corn in the double digits, and wheat explosions could be on the horizon in 2022 and beyond In 2021, a composite of grain, oilseed, and other leading agricultural products rose 29.71%. In Q1 2022, the composite moved another 18.89% higher. Corn, soybean, and wheat prices are sky-high in early April 2022 as the seeds go into the ground, and the prospects for even higher prices are rising each day. Grains and oilseeds are going into the 2022 US crop year at very high prices Nearby May CBOT corn futures settled at $7.4875 on March 31, up 26.21% in Q1. The chart shows corn’s price was higher on April 8 at the $7.6875 per bushel level. Corn’s all-time high was in 2012 at $8.4375, and the coarse grain reached $8 in March before correcting. Nearby CBOT soybean futures settled at $16.18250 per bushel on March 31, posting a 21.79% gain in Q1 2022. Soybean futures were higher at around the $16.89 level on April 8 after reaching a high of $17.65 in February 2022. In 2012, the beans reached a record high of $17.9475 per bushel. CBOT soft red winter wheat is the most liquid wheat futures contract and a global price benchmark. The CBOT wheat rallied 20.34% in 2021 and was 30.52% higher in Q1 2022. The CBOT wheat settled at $10.06 per bushel on March 31 and was at over the $10.50 level on April 8. The wheat futures rose to a high of $13.40 in May, eclipsing the 2008 $13.3450 per bushel record peak. As the seeds go into the ground in the US and other growing regions in the northern hemisphere, prices are at multi-year highs and not far from record levels. The weather is secondary as the war in Ukraine threatens supplies The weather typically causes price volatility during the annual planting and growing seasons. However, 2022 is anything but a typical year. Rising inflation has caused input prices to soar, pushing land values, rents, financing costs, energy, labor, equipment, seed, and other expenses higher. Moreover, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has transformed Europe’s breadbasket into mine and battlefields. Russia and Ukraine export one-third of the world’s annual wheat requirements and substantial amounts of corn, barley, and other agricultural products. The Black Sea ports, a critical logistical hub in the region, is a war zone. Meanwhile, Russia retaliated against sanctions by “temporarily” banning fertilizer exports, sending prices higher, and limiting availabilities. The lack of fertilizers will translate to lower global crop yields. In April 2022, the weather is secondary to the geopolitical landscape for the commodities that feed the world. Higher prices in the US- The potential for famine in other regions In the US, consumers will pay much higher prices for food in the coming months and years. However, as a world-leading agricultural producer, the US food supply is likely to fulfill domestic requirements, barring any catastrophic weather events. Other regions worldwide could face food shortages leading to famine. In a sign that Russia may cut off agricultural exports, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the West’s sanctions would make Russia keep a close eye on its food exports to hostile countries. The Russian leader said, “They will inevitably exacerbate food shortages in the poorest regions of the world, spur new waves of migration, and in general drive food prices even higher.” Even if Russia continues to export to some countries, the production loss caused by the war looks likely to be substantial. Food shortages lead to political change When governments cannot feed people, revolutions tend to follow. The French Revolution that cost the last French Queen’s head began as bread riots in Paris. More recently, the 2010 Arab Spring came two years after wheat reached its previous record high. Bread riots in Tunisia and Egypt caused by rising prices and falling availability caused the sweeping political change in North Africa and the Middle East. Inflation, the war in Ukraine, and sanctions on Russia will have severe ramifications for supplies over the coming years. Feeding people is a government’s primary task, and hungry citizens quickly lose patience with their leaders. Beans above the teens, corn in the double digits, and wheat explosions could be on the horizon in 2022 and beyond Soybean futures first traded in the teens in 2008. In 1973, the oilseed futures reached a high of $12.90 per bushel, beginning the chant of “beans in the teens” from those bullish on the oilseed. While it took three and one-half decades for beans to trade in the teens, the next time they move out of the teens could be on the upside at prices above the $20 per bushel level. Corn has never traded above $8.50 per bushel, but it could head for over $10 in the current environment. CBOT wheat already reached a record high in March 2022, and higher highs could be on the horizon over the coming months and years. While the weather is secondary for the 2022 crop year, a drought, flood, or other weather events that impact the growing season and weigh on supplies could make matters worse. Anything short of a bumper crop from the US and other growing regions away from Europe’s breadbasket could be disastrous for prices and availabilities. The bull market that took the grain sector 29.71% higher in 2021 and 18.89% higher in Q1 2022 looks set to continue. The current environment limits the downside while the upside remains explosive. Risk-reward favors the upside in the commodities that feed and increasingly fuel the world. -- Trading advice given in this communication, if any, is based on information taken from trades and statistical services and other sources that we believe are reliable.

Wheat back at Key $1000 levelWheat has been the most volatile commodity since the war started and we have fallen back to $1000 as peace talks improved. Similar to Oil though peace will not fix the supply/demand issues with Ukraine and Russia accounting for 30% of wheat exports. The consolidation period is likely over and if we can get some positive price action more buyers are likely to come back to a very tight supply market. A close below $1000 would hurt bullish sentiment. easyMarkets Account on TradingView allows you to combine easyMarkets industry leading conditions, regulated trading and tight fixed spreads with TradingView's powerful social network for traders, advanced charting and analytics.

Wheat - 2 long / 2 Short scenarios - Good bread takes timeGeneral Wheat seems to generate a nasty SFP. It took out the recent Swing High and then dropped over 22%. With the monthly close coming soon i could image it going lower before finding support. I marked 4 Scenarios which i would be happy to take either. 1. Long (Blue arrow) Price moves to the red rectangle (area 1), finds support and "generates a swing". Price goes lower before breaking above the generated swing where i would then look on a LTF for an entry. Target: A bit under the range high SL: Depending on the LTF entry i wouldnt want to see it going lower than support Invalidation: Price breaking under area 1 Time duration: Days, weeks, months, years... ;) 2. Long (Orange arrow) Price moves under area 1 but manages to retake it. Enter on retest of area 1. Target: A bit under the range high SL: A bit under area 1 Time duration: Days, weeks, months, years... ;) 1. Short (Red arrow) Price moves under area 1 aswell level 2. Enter on retest of level 2. Target: The next big support level (Also in confluence with the 50% of the lower range. SL: A bit above level 2 Time duration: Days, weeks, months, years... ;) 2. Short (Yellow arrow) Price breaks under area 1. Enter in LTF on retest. Target: The next big support level (Also in confluence with the 50% of the lower range. SL: A bit above area 1 Time duration: Days, weeks, months, years... ;) Good luck

Should the WHEAT rally worry stock investors?The current war Ukraine has caused Wheat prices to skyrocket in February and March as Ukraine and Russia export 1/3 of world's wheat. Geopolitical unrest always causes commodity prices to rise, which is something I recently looked into in early March: As far as wheat is concerned though, it hit its All Time High (ATH), but hasn't closed the month above it, and voices in the markets have already started calling for food shortages and even civil unrest. Those stem from patterns studied as back in time as the U.S. Civil War, the French Revolution and more recently the Arab Spring. Indeed wheat, which is the primary ingredient in bread, has a long history as a commodity with significant political ramifications when the prices rise and availabilities become scarce. In TradingShot however, we don't yet share these worries as in the stock market era, there is a pattern showing that stocks are most likely safe, unless a certain thing happens. And that is a rally way above Wheat's ATH. Last time it happened was in mid 2007 and as a new top was made in February 2008, the stock market had already began what would end up in a massive correction due to the subprime mortgage defaults, the worst economic crisis in the U.S.A since the Great Depression. In more detail, it appears the S&P500 (black trend-line) and Wheat (blue trend-line) since the 2000 DotCom crisis, follow the same pattern as since 1968. The Wheat peak on Feb 1974, coincided with the big stock market correction of 1973/74. Then the Wheat ATH was tested 2 times (Nov 1980 and April 1996) but never closed a month above it (until as mentioned before 2007). The result was that the stock market (S&P500 as mentioned in our example), enjoyed its best historic bull run from late 1974 to mid 2000 (DotCom Bubble). Of course it wasn't just Wheat that aided to that expansion, but at least this chart shows that until Wheat rallies aggressively and makes monthly closes above its All Time High, we most likely don't have to worry about a stock market crash or other socioeconomic concerns such as famine, civil unrest, revolutions etc that are lately making headlines in the news. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please support this idea with your likes and comments, it is the best way to keep it relevant and support me. ** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Famine and food shortages. How do we invest? RJA and RJIFamine and Food Shortages are the talk over the last month as Russia invades Ukraine. How are we playing this? Where can people look to hedge inflation and war? Here are two simple methods we take a look at to play commodities and agricultural commodities. RJA and RJI by Jim Rogers we believe will continue to rise due to inflation and war. A little fast recently due to war but we expect more corn, wheat, oil, and safflower oil shortages in the next year or two simply based on this war. These commodities will and some are, being used as weapons at this point. I would ask myself, what's more important? Access to a world financial system that I can work around or food for my citizens? I would go with the latter as those with real "stuff" usually have the upper hand. I am not allowed to advertise other social media on TradingView but I can say there is a longer version and more detail out there. Watch, like, share, comment.
