Wheat Markets End Thursday on Either Side of Unchanged

I’m KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for May 29, 2015.
Thursday’s wheat markets ended either side of unchanged. From the floor of the CME Group Oliver Sloup shares his observation of Thursday’s markets.
Sloup: “Wheat market relatively light but lets start looking at the corn — corn this morning we tested the October first low of $3.64 and 1/4 — that’s the December contract held that by a penny —- $3.65 and 1/4 gotta a bounce. So I think we are going to see some short-covering - that is what we saw today. As far as wheat goes, wheat really all over the board. If you aren’t in this market right now there is no reason to step in now. We’re in a 70 cents range and we are smack dab in the middle of that. So you are either going to want to sell higher or buy lower. Right now in the middle of the risk range — so I’d say stay on the side lines. That is your best bet.”
