This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Monday, May 21st. All grains are higher in Friday trading. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "Wheat was soaring today and perhaps corn participated in that with a little bit of that overflow buying from the wheat, up double digits almost .20 cents at one point. The trade deal issue has really brought in the buyers and they jumped in with both feet. And, all the spill over from the corn and soybeans as well really pushed the market up. Now, we know the wheat market is really a thinner market and when we start to get a head of steam it really moves and sometimes overshoots its objective. But, the market had been on a slide for two weeks and finally found a rebound, bargain hunters stepping in and really pushing that market up a lot higher and it really came back to finish off very strong to end the week so there's some positive news there. We're still waiting for all the numbers to come in."
