U.S benchmarks gapped lower last night and selling pressure picked up again when Europe opened. In China, the confirmed Coronavirus death toll has topped 80 and the number of confirmed cases is nearing 3000. The two major concerns driving sentiment are the thump to growth figures and the incubation period of the virus. First, we imagine the growth scare is exacerbated in the near-term and smoothed out over the long-term.

Blue Line Breakfast Report – January 23, 2020
The 2nd best commodity out of the basket of 48 we monitor at Blue Line Futures and up over 10%% on the year. Cocoa closed sharply lower on the session after posting the highest print since April 2018 and with four straight weeks worth of gains this market feels like it needs to catch its breath.

Key Geopolitical Risks to Oil in 2020
The areas of greatest concern today tilt primarily to upside risk to prices, particularly with an easing of U.S.–China trade tensions. However, there are regions and scenarios we do not have the space here to discuss, we expect new risks will likely emerge, and not all risks will be price-bullish.

March corn futures rallied hard on Friday, erasing all of Thursday’s losses and then some. Rumors that China secured multiple cargoes of US corn helped offer support, but there hasn’t been confirmation on that yet.

Corn futures were mute yesterday as the market ran out of new news to break prices out above technical resistance. Today is the signing of the highly anticipated Phase-1 trade agreement. It will be nice to get some clarity on the “trade deal”, but I wouldn’t hold your breath for something magical to happen. My guess is that Phase-1 is largely an agreement to proceed to Phase-2.

Sugar continues to surprise to the upside with global production issues coming front and center. If we see an uptick in energy futures this could be the spark needed to take out some of the key levels from the past. Traders should be long from the high 13.70’s low 13.80’s and moving stops up to break even at this point.
