USDA Prospective Plantings

USDA Prospective Plantings: Corn growers intend to plant 86.0 million acres of corn for all purposes in 2008, down 8 percent from last year when corn planted area was the highest since 1944. Expected acreage is down from last year in most States as favorable prices for other crops, high input costs for corn, and crop rotation considerations are motivating some farmers to plant fewer acres to corn.

Kind regards,

However, the U.K. and EU economies may be better positioned for the slow down due to the fact they arent buried in debt like the U.S.). Right now the dollar is rebounding but eventually the U.S. debt may bring the dollar back down again (to test the recent lows or maybe push through them once more). Notice the net-com position for the DX has changed and is now negative, opposite of the GBP, which is positive. It is really interesting to see the GBP on the extreme right (net-com/net-fund) and the dollar (DX) all the way on the opposite left (net-com/net-fund). You can see this condition on my FUA_COT analysis which ActiveTradermag prints monthly in their magazine and on their website. Check activetrader for it (online activetradermag.com I believe or buy the mag).

Hope you will be on the show again soon.

Been looking at the latest sentiment readings on GBP and it seems everyone is on one side of the boat right now. Not seen this level of bearishness for over 10 years. I still think we are in a bear, but seems a 400 pip bounce should manifest from the current level of 1.8470. I'll admit I'm wrong if we break 1.8250. Loads of fibs all clustering current levels too.

All the best,
George from the UK
