Prices Cool Across the Grain Markets

I’m KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for October 31, 2014.
The rally in the grain futures slowed down on Thursday. From the floor of the CME Group Larry Shover shares his observations of Thursday’s markets.
Shover: “Thursday’s grain trade much slower than yesterday at the CME but still worthwhile to talk about with a lot of interday moves. Starting with Decs wheat spent most day around the flatline. Sales did come out slightly better than consensus that kind of put a bullish narrative to the trade. We had Russian projections come out from both SAV-Econ and ICAR. ICAR was about 46.5 million metric tons. SAV-Econ was about 50 million metric tons.”
