受电子盘升势带动 CBOT玉米期货开盘料上涨5-6美分

　　文华财经（综合编译 刘娜）--据芝加哥4月4日消息，CBOT玉米期货周三开盘料将上涨5-6美分，尾随隔夜建立起来的强势，并受在过去几个交易日大幅下跌后应会反弹想法推动。

　　在隔夜电子交易中，5月玉米合约上涨6美分至每蒲式耳3.52-1/4美元，7月合约上涨5-3/4美分至3.64美元；12月合约走高5美分至3.72-1/2美元。5月合约电子盘成交量为4,816手。

　　一经纪行分析师表示，玉米市场自上周五公布种植意向报告以来，遭遇大量抛售。除此之外，隔夜的强势应会溢出到场内交易中。

　　一场内交易商表示，如果今年秋天供应充足以及近期内天气不利于播种将对市场构成支撑。

　　然而，如果基金决定继续清算他们的头寸，涨势将被制约。

　　DTN Meteorologix气象机构称，预计未来5天，美国中西部的西部地区大体维持干旱和寒冷天气，最低温度可能低于20华氏温度。气温较正常温度10-20华氏温度。

　　In the eastern sections of the region much colder weather with the chance of snow showers are possible Thursday with mainly dry and not as windy on Friday, Meteorologix Weather said. Temperatures are expected to average 15-25F degrees below normal in the period.

　　On daily technical charts, May corn prices hit a fresh five-month low Tuesday as the bearish fallout from the USDA report on Friday continues, a technical analyst said. There could be more downside pressure in the coming sessions on continued long liquidation, the analyst added.

　　The bears' next downside price objective is closing prices below solid support at $3.40, while the bulls would begin to regain some upside technical momentum by pushing prices above solid chart resistance at $3.62 1/2, the analyst added.

　　First resistance for May is seen at $3.50 and then at $3.55. First support is seen at Tuesday's low of $3.43 and then at $3.40.

　　In other corn news, China's National Grain and Oils Information Center CNGOIC has increased its 2007 corn production and acreage forecast as higher corn prices has caused a shift to more corn acres.
