SINGAPORE: CBOT July wheat may test a support at $6.35 per bushel, a break below which could open the way towards the May 11 low of $6.25-1/2. A wave c from this low has completed around a resistance at $6.65-3/4, as suggested by the deep fall from the May 16 high of $6.64-1/4.

The completion also marks the ending of a bounce from $6.03-3/4.

Resistance is at $6.50-1/4, a break above which may lead to a gain into the $6.58 to $6.65-3/4 range.
