Closing Comment 05/18
Wheat futures closed higher on Friday. Currently weather is the most important factor moving the wheat market. Wheat futures soared as warm, dry weather concerns in the U.S., Russia, and Australia continued to fuel fears of damage to wheat crops. Speculators covered their short positions in the market over weather uncertainty boosting wheat prices higher on the close. CBOT July was 37 1/2 cents higher at $6.95 1/4; KCBT July was 33 cents higher at $7.05; and MGE July was 24 3/4 cents higher at $7.92.
