Heavy Wheat Futures Selling Following Bearish Export Report

Heavy Wheat Futures Selling Following Bearish Export Report

I’m KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for March 27, 2015.
Wheat posted the most losses in reaction to the bearish export sales. Corn saw spillover pressure from wheat and a higher U.S. dollar. From the floor of the CME Group, Oliver Sloup shares his observations of Thursday’s markets.
Sloup: “Grain markets feeling the heat today. Had export sales mixed across the board — soybeans, corn and wheat — all with misses and beats of expectations. Wheat really taking the brunt of things trading as low as $5.02. That is a big physiological and technical line of support. $5 handle bulls need to defend that. Break below that and we may see a test of recent lows and test down to as low as $4.75 in the near future.”
