All Wheat Futures Up on Thursday

All Wheat Futures Up on Thursday

I'm KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for March 28, 2014.

After double digit losses on Wednesday, wheat bounced back higher on the day. From the floor of the CME Group, Larry Shover shares his observations of Thursday's markets.

Shover: "After suffering double digit losses yesterday, wheat snapped right back where it was. USDA sales came in much better than excepted providing a lift to the market and also reiterating any kind of worries of the U.S. being competitive in the world market. The weather worries that we had yesterday seemed to be abated — especially in the Southern Plains."
