USDCHF has long since been a great canary in the coalmine for DXY (USD index).  Today’s green candle is very similar to 11/30 (last day of Nov) so have to take it with a grain of salt.  Keep watching USDCHF for signs of bottoming, that would be an early precursor of a dollar bottom, but any red candle on monday would negate any ST bottom potential.

06 Feb: CORN

Corn futures are standardized, exchange-traded contracts in which the contract buyer agrees to take delivery, from the seller, a specific quantity of corn (i.e. 50 tonnes) at a predetermined price on a future delivery date. Corn Futures are traded at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), NYSE Euronext (Euronext) and Tokyo Grain Exchange (TGE). Commodities are traded based on margin, and the margin changes based on market volatility and the current face value of the contract.
