SINGAPORE: CBOT corn may retest a resistance at $5.29 per bushel, a break above which could lead to a gain to $5.32-1/4.

The 38.2% retracement of $5.29 temporarily stopped this wave and triggered a correction, which is expected to end around $5.23. A further fall could signal a reversal of the uptrend from $5.06-3/4.
