This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Friday, Jan 11th. Grains fall on Thursday, including the wheat market. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "The GASC was buying big from Russia and that just dashed the hopes for U.S. wheat. We were hoping to get a little piece of that action. After losing that business and the index fund rebalancing is also putting pressure on that wheat market so it really pushed it a little bit lower. Yet, we're still staying within that channel that wheat has been in, between $5 and $5.25. It seems that wheat, corn and soybeans all have been just bouncing around back and forth waiting for some relief from the government shutdown as well as the U.S.-China trade resolution. And, nothing has happened on either front and that's why we're seeing our markets trade the way they are. I expect it's going to be the same thing tomorrow and next week if we don't finally get a resolution one way or the other."
