Monday started with new high prices for the month on the Sunday night overnight trade but long-held positions fat with profits started to trim some of their long positions pulling prices lower overnight and on the day session Monday. Down days have been hard to come by in the month of March with fear of lower ending stocks on the March 9 USDA monthly report.

The Grain Report - Profit Taking

Posted by Tim Hannagan I PFG Best Research • Wednesday, March 7. 2012 • Category: Rohstoffe
Monday saw classic two-sided trade prior the release of Friday's big USDA monthly crop report.

As we narrow into the final days prior the reports release, we see everyone offsetting or balancing the risk prior the report with more two-sided trade. Longs fat with profits sell the rallies, ...

Tim Hannagan is one of the nation’s most prominent grain analysts. His report for Friday, March 2:

It's the beginning of a new month, but the end of the week. Traders are more concerned with the pre-weekend risk thinking, though, and it’s leading to a more subdued 2-sided trading on this Friday. When we enter Monday, the psychology will turn to new month thinking instead, and the focus will be on re-establishing a foothold on longer-term positioning.
