Morning Comments 05/20
Weekend rainfall plus the prospect of more of the same during the days ahead may have affected wheat futures Sunday night. That is, the improved moisture seemingly increased production prospects for the winter wheat crops, which would explain the slippage experienced by the Chicago and Kansas City markets. Conversely, wet conditions in the northern Plains imply additional delays to spring wheat plantings, which in turn might reduce harvests next fall. Thus, Minneapolis prices rose slightly. July CBOT wheat futures slipped 1.25 cents to $6.82/bushel as trading commenced Monday, and July KCBT wheat dipped 1.25 to $7.36, while July MGE futures advanced 0.75 cents to $8.045.
