July sugar closed down 41 points at 15.44 cents yesterday. Prices closed near the session low on profit-taking pressure. The key "outside markets" were mixed for the sugar futures market yesterday, as the U.S. stock indexes were steady-higher, crude oil prices were steady-lower and the U.S. dollar was lower. Sugar has been trading in a sideways range at higher levels for three weeks. Bulls need to push prices above this trading range to gain fresh power. That means pushing and closing prices above the May high of 16.03 cents. Sugar bulls do still have the near-term technical advantage. Prices are still in a seven-week-old uptrend on the daily bar chart. Bulls' next upside price objective is to push and close prices above technical resistance at 16.03 cents. Bears' next downside price objective is to push and close prices below solid technical support at 14.90 cents. First resistance is seen at 15.75 cents and then at yesterday's high of 15.88 cents. First support is seen at yesterday's low of 15.40 cents and then at last week's low of 15.26 cents.

August live cattle closed down $0.20 at $81.62 yesterday. Prices closed nearer the session low yesterday and closed at a fresh two-month low close.
