Commentary & TechnicalsπŸ’Ή
Technically speaking, Soybeans broke through the earlier resistance we mentioned last week and settled above it, opening the door for the psychological $14.00 handle.

We note this week that the market is mainly being driven by events unfolding in Brazil (drought) and Argentina (Elections & Soybean scarcity). One of which can turn suddenly (weather) and the other is driven by both the political uncertainty in Argentina coupled with Soybean scarcity. All of which could lead to volatile outcomes in the next 2 weeks while the US is out celebrating Thanksgiving.

Watch the following levels πŸ‘‡
🟒 Upside Targets: 13.98, 14.00, 14.20
πŸ”΄ Downside Targets: 13.68, 13.60, 13.36
