Morning Comments 06/19
Wheat futures were mixed in overnight trading. Talk that India wants to push an additional 2.0 million tonnes of its huge domestic stockpile onto the export market seemingly undercut the winter wheat markets, whereas worries that a quick shift to hot weather over the Northern Plains seemed to support spring wheat futures. July CBOT wheat inched 0.5 cent lower to $6.87/bushel in early Wednesday electronic trading, while July KCBT wheat edged up 0.75 cent to $7.20, whereas July MGE futures gained 2.0 to $8.01.
