Closing Comment 02/03
Wheat futures were mostly lower on Friday. Winter wheat markets were pressured by profit-taking after the strong gains earlier this week. The market was supported this week by concern about winterkill to the winter wheat crop due to cold temperatures in eastern Europe and Russia. But moderating temperatures have eased the concern for now. CBOT March ended 2 cents lower at $6.60 3/4, KCBT March was 5 cents lower at $7.12 3/4 while MGE March was 2 1/2 cents higher at $8.38 1/2.
