The mid $70 level has been holding well. Despite some fundamental near misses, you can't count out the bulls. I like a CLV7 $73/76 call spread for approximately $800 with a nearly 3:1 risk reward ratio. |

The Fed appears to be moving toward an easing of rates at their next meeting. This will not be pretty for the USD. Look to be a buyer on the dips of the ECU. An ECU7 136 Call for approximately $500 looks good, or an ECV7 137/139 call spread for approximately $500 for those looking for a little more time on the trade. |

With only a week to go until expiration, I like the Sept. Wheat puts. WU7 670 puts are going for approximately $550 and 660 puts for $350. I believe the days for this bull run are numbered. |

Sadly I don't think the selling is nearly over for the stocks. I would use this temporary bounce as an opportunity to establish new shorts. In the E-mini S&P 500 options, I like an ESU7 1450/1420 put spread for approximately $500 with a 5:1 risk reward ratio. |

Recent stock market weakness has spilled over into the commodities across the board. December coffee has bounced nicely off its recent lows, but looking for the selling to continue, I would look to establish new shorts. With 82 days to go until expiration, I like the KCZ7 110 puts for approximately $400. |
