Softs Mixed

COCOA

The sweeping reversal from an overbought condition is a bearish short-term development and points to a significant correction ahead. Near-term demand prospects remain a concern for the market, so the Eurocurrency extending its near-term pullback put significant carryover pressure on cocoa prices.

COFFEE

Coffee’s downside follow-through from a negative weekly reversal has taken prices back below their 200-day moving average for the first time since July 29th. While the market may be vulnerable to additional long liquidation, coffee has seen more signs of improving global demand that can help the market find its footing soon.

COTTON

For Wednesday’s USDA Crop Report, traders are expecting 2020/21 US production and ending stocks forecasts to decline from the July report. One survey shows the average trade guess for US production at 17.2 million bales (from a range of 16.5 to 17.5 million), down from 17.5 million in the July report. Exports are expected at 15.2 million versus 15.0 million in July, and ending stocks are expected at 6.3 million versus 6.8 million in July.

SUGAR

Sugar prices have maintained a coiling price pattern since the start of August. While the market has benefited from mildly positive supply developments over that timeframe, the 2020/21 supply outlook still remains bearish which will leave sugar needing to find more carryover support from key outside markets to avoid a near-term pullback.
