This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Tuesday, Dec 4th. Russian wheat creates volatility in U.S. trade Monday. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "Wheat was very volatile today. The market really started much higher. Russia remains a serious issue in this market. Their aggression against the Ukraine is playing a big role in this market and that's why the squeeze is on and the market starts to rally. Well, once the report came out we had, kind of, those two things really push the market higher, but instantly the selling came in and brought it all the way back down. Even though we're higher by maybe five or six cents right now, I think that we have to watch out for where the facts are to see if we can hold on to this market. Right now this .14 cent rally really started off pretty good, but that sell off was so strong that it makes you wonder if we can keep this afloat."
