Flooding in the Midwest and fears of crop damage caused corn prices to climb in Chicago for the eighth consecutive day — their biggest gain in 11 weeks. Prices are expected to hit $8 a bushel by next week.
“Corn is in trouble because of the wet spring that has drenched the midwest,” says Justice Litle in Taipan Daily.
Yesterday, the USDA said in a report that American corn output will be down significantly from last year’s estimate.

Welcome to another action-packed Monday. The weekend went by fast, no? All in all, it looks like a good week to be long the financials for a quick trade. Though by “quick trade,” I really mean a lightning-quick trade. The kind that works best for trigger-fingered scalpers who like catching moves that threaten to finish before they start.

I have a feeling we’re going to be hearing a lot more of this as the worldwide commodities boom goes on. A day after a run on rice in California prompted Costco and other chains to limit buyers to only a bag or two at a time.

I’m bullish on agriculture.
I first turned bullish in 2005 when I realized the ethanol boom would consume a third of the U.S. annual corn crop. As I investigated this story, I realized global population growth, rising prosperity in Asia and around the world, shortages of arable land and clean water… and a bull market in commodities… would send agriculture prices through the roof.
