Morning Comments 06/20
Wheat futures also suffered amidst the wide commodity sector drop posted overnight. Again, U.S. dollar strength and pessimism about Chinese demand strength were the features of the decline. Winter wheat futures led the way downward, with those losses possibly being exaggerated by forecast conditions more conducive to an accelerated harvest. On the other hand, heat over the Northern Plains might hurt the freshly planted spring wheat crop. July CBOT wheat dove 10.0 cents to $6.97/bushel in early Thursday trading, and July KCBT wheat fell 8.0 cents to $7.3175, while July MGE futures slipped 3.25 to $8.1025.
