Today at 14:30 CET we have the monthly release of the Supply and demand report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
For Corn it is expected to show increased U.S. stocks and decreased South American production. Last month we saw Corn lose 12% after the release only to recover later on the back of the deteriorating weather conditions in South America.
Wheat will focus on the drought situation in China http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/016d885e-f607-11dd-a9ed-0000779fd2ac.html (Beijing fights drought as wheat fears rise) and the dryness in U.S. Southern Plains.

GOLD TAKING A BREATHER
GCJ9 dropped below $900 yesterday on the back of buying fatigue after the rally of the last couple of weeks ran out of steam after having failed to break the $930 level. Price upgrades to $1,000 from several analysts helped the market getting ahead of itself.
The platinum / gold spread has received some interest as well recently with Platinum being favoured. Keep an eye on a break above $1,015 on PLJ9 which could trigger more buying.
For now though Gold is letting the EUR/USD play catch up after rallying despite a stronger dollar recently.
Support looks firm around the $890 level while resistance is seen at $902 and $910.
