Chinese markets were especially strong, buoyed by ideas the government was planning to ease Covid-19 restrictions, some of which have been in place for months. Energy markets have staged a nice recovery this week with spot crude oil futures holding the 100-day moving average last week and climbing above its 50-day moving average this week. The U.S. Dollar Index is slightly weaker overnight but still mainly in a consolidation phase. Metals are higher overnight with copper leading gains, up 1.54%. Grain markets are all stronger overnight with gains led by Chicago wheat which has suffered one of the worst beat downs of all ag commodities. High risk events this week and next include the June 30 USDA reports and the multiple rounds of weather models over the long Fourth of July weekend. Plenty of volatility upcoming in the ag space.
