Midday Report 05/24
Wheat futures were probably ripe for pre-holiday profit taking Friday after having surged Wednesday and Thursday. Traders are simply less willing to hold onto positions ahead of a three-day weekend. That seems especially true with the equity markets under substantial pressure as well. July CBOT wheat futures declined 4.5 cents to $6.9875/bushel just before lunchtime Friday, while July KCBT wheat sank 5.75 cents to $7.4875, and July MGE futures slid 5.25 cent to $8.08.
