SINGAPORE: CBOT May corn may test a resistance at $5.60-1/4 per bushel, a break above which could open the way towards $5.65-1/4.

The current rise seems to be observing the retracements on the fall from $5.72 to $5.23-1/4.

After rising above the resistance at $5.53-1/4, the contract has a better chance of gaining more towards $5.60-1/4.

A break below $5.53-1/4, now a support, may cause a fall to $5.47-1/2. However, the impact of the break could be much more greater than triggering a shallow drop. It could help resume the downtrend from $5.72.
