Another Down Day in Wheat Markets Wednesday

Another Down Day in Wheat Markets Wednesday

I’m KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for November 6, 2014.
It was another down day in the wheat markets on Wednesday. From the floor of the CME Group, Chris Robinson shares his observations of Wednesday’s markets.
Robinson: “That rally that we had last week to multi-month highs, I hope you took advantage of that. Beans are already 50 to 60 cents off that high from last Wednesday. Corn is about 25 cents off that high from last Wednesday and wheat also down over 25 cents from that high last Wednesday. What is going on? Well, we had option expiration on Friday that drove the market higher. You had a commodity fund in Europe blowout.”
