The grain market’s getting a jolt this week.
After Monday’s Prospective Plantings report was released, we learned the USDA is expecting more corn acres and fewer soybean acres this year.
But now a new twist has everyone scrambling — heavy rain is sweeping across the Corn Belt, which could delay spring planting across much of the Midwest.
And when farmers can’t plant on time, supply risks rise. That’s why grains have been rallying hard — traders are already pricing in the weather risk.
Meanwhile, gold is back above that 3150 level — a key support we’ve been watching — but silver and copper are still hesitating.
Silver’s struggling to reclaim 35, and copper keeps stalling just below 5.15.
Why?
One word: tariffs.
With trade tensions still looming, big money’s holding off on piling into industrial metals just yet.
But that could change fast.
Once silver and copper break those levels with conviction, we could see a surge — and I’ll be watching closely for the setup.
Now, here’s the key takeaway…
All of this creates opportunity — if you know where to look.
When the markets get this choppy, I don’t try to force things. I look for high-odds, controlled-risk setups that can generate cash flow fast…
In fact, I just went live today to do exactly that.
I’ve developed a high-odds strategy that lets anyone with at least $750 in their account target $100 a day from the markets — even in choppy markets like this.
No guesswork. No hail marys. Just a repeatable, low-stress way to trade.
And I shared all the details about it right here.
Stay sharp,
