Better crops outlook
In this report we suggest studying the personal composite instrument (PCI) grain index. It includes four major grains traded at stock exchange. The index may decline in case the single CFDs, its constituents, fall in price.
Previously grains reached the 8-month high on rising global demand rose and negative crops outlook. In particular, market participants were worried that winter wheat sowings may be harmed in EU due to cold and dry winter. Now the news is changing.
On the daily chart &Grain_4: D1 has advanced to the upper boundary of the rising channel having hit a fresh 8-month high. Now it is struggling for downward correction. Its further decline is possible in case grain crops rise.
The bearish momentum may develop in case &Grain_4 falls below the Parabolic signal and the support of the short-term trend at 366. This level may serve the point of entry. The initial stop-loss may be placed above the last fractal high, the 8-month high, the Bollinger band and the upper boundary of the rising trend at 381. Having opened the pending order we shall move the stop to the next fractal high following the Parabolic and Bollinger signals. Thus, we are changing the probable profit/loss ratio to the breakeven point. The most risk-averse traders may switch to the 4-hour chart after the trade and place there a stop-loss moving it in the direction of the trade. If the price meets the stop-loss level at 381 without reaching the order at 366, we recommend cancelling the position: the market sustains internal changes which were not taken into account.
