Notes

What is there to say this week?  The week ended up a bit lower with July explosively kicking towards its last few weeks of life. That was just a beautiful little short squeeze this week in July, wasn’t it?  July open interest has fallen to 7,762 contracts with open interest for December up to 123,938.  The July-Dec spread is back up to 1100 points.  Planting report showed 95% complete, compared to 83% last week. Cotton conditions report showed 51% as good or excellent, compared to 50% last week, and 42% last year.  We are not there quite yet but maybe look for a price bounce or consolidation as we move closer to the cost of production.  Managed money is net long.  Possible resistance at 76.00.
