This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Wednesday, July 17th. Corn conditions improve enough to spook the bulls in Tuesday trading. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Scott Shellady.

SHELLADY ... "Let's take a look at the corn market. That's been the driver as of late. We're a bit in the middle of a weather market. We had crop conditions come out last night and good-to-excellent or improved by 1%. Apparently, that wasn't good enough to keep a bid under the market. We sold off pretty hard and fast after that and, also, if you're a technician, we kind of bounced off a resistance level above that level. So, it's very interesting technically looking at how we traded it as well as the fundamental news that we got with crop conditions. And, when I mean technical levels, we've got support and resistance lines that are, right now, trying or looking as though that they're forming a flag pattern or a pennant pattern. And, we did, really, after the news last night. We kind of touched up against that upper band and then we traded lower. And, again today, we got down to the lower end of that pennant formation."
