Selling Pressure for Wheat Market on Monday

Selling Pressure for Wheat Market on Monday

From the floor of the CME Group, Alexandra Lively shares her observations of Monday’s markets.
Lively: “Moving on to wheat, the market came under some selling pressure after the rally seen last week. While many technical analysts tell me that the chart remains bearish for wheat. The bulls are still pointing to concerns over protein content in soft wheat and harvest quality or poor yields in hard red winter wheat. The bears continue to focus on ample world wheat supplies and the premium that U.S. wheat holds over global competitors which leads some here on the floor to estimate that U.S. wheat exports could fall over 20 percent.”
