I'm KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for December 11, 2013.March Chicago wheat fell to new contract lows Tuesday, even before USDA
increased its world ending stocks estimate from 178.5 million to 182.8 million
metric tons, more than expected. From the floor of the CME Group, Joe Vaclavik shares
Vaclavik: "Grain markets here in Chicago were mixed to lower on Tuesday. The key feature would have been the USDA Crop Production and WASDE Report. The wheat numbers came in and they were bearish. The market was down all day today pretty poor close there but a little off the lows. The wheat market really doesn't have a lot going for it now. Some of the world numbers were a little bit friendly relative to expectations but all in all it looks like the trade is waiting on the January report to come around for than anything. Not much interested in trading this December report today."
