Afternoon Comments 05/22
There seemed to be little fresh news concerning wheat Wednesday, although some traders may have responded to a private forecast of 2013/14 global production below the recent USDA prediction. Otherwise, the golden grain markets almost surely benefited from concurrent corn and soy gains. Beneficial weather may have weighed upon Minneapolis prices. July CBOT wheat futures advanced 8.0 cents to $6.885/bushel at its Wednesday settlement, and July KCBT wheat added 6.7.5 to $7.4325, whereas July MGE futures declined 4.25 cents to $8.0775.
