Afternoon Comments 05/21
Tight old crop supplies seemed to support the expiring Minneapolis wheat contract Tuesday, whereas prospects for increased production apparently dragged the other contracts lower. The fact that many areas where plants are already growing are being blessed with plentiful moisture may also be weighing upon the markets. July CBOT wheat futures dropped 4.75 cents to $6.805/bushel in Tuesday trading and July KCBT wheat tumbled 6.5 to $7.385, while July MGE futures rose 2.75 cents to $8.135.
