Second Day of Higher Wheat Prices

Second Day of Higher Wheat Prices

I’m KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for November 14, 2014.
Reporting from the Tri-State Grain Growers Convention, it was a second day of higher prices in the wheat futures. From the floor of the CME Group Larry Shover shares his observations of Thursday’s markets.
Shover: “Very interesting grain trade here on Thursday at the CME Group. We’ve got to start with wheat — back to back meaningful gains in wheat. Seeing it up 6 to 12 cents on the day. As most of us know there has been some very extreme cold weather in the winter wheat growing area, there is no snow cover to protect the stalks right now. All hands are on deck, people are very nervous about how long this cold snap is going to last. Also we see rumors of flaring up in the Ukraine — definitely not helping out with the wheat trade.”
