Wheat Markets End Slightly Higher Thursday

I’m KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for October 3, 2014.
Wheat markets ended Thursday up slightly. From the floor of the CME Group, Larry Shover shares his observations of Thursday’s markets.
Shover: “We saw some green Thursday here at CME in ag here in Chicago. Hard to believe two days in a row up move for corn. Corn up after being up fractional yesterday. Decs turned up about a penny in some pretty encouraging trade. Seems like we’ve finally found a floor. Moving on to wheat, Decs wheat closed a day volatile session at 2 cents on the day. Sales came out a little higher than consensus estimates at 685,900 metric tons.”
