Wheat Ends Wednesday Double Digits Higher
I’m KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for November 13, 2014.Wheat had double digit gains across the three markets. A great way to begin the Tri-State Grain Growers Convention today. From the floor of the CME Group Todd Horwitz shares his observations of Wednesday’s markets.
Horwitz: “Wednesday’s grain trade saw mixed prices but really drastic move in the wheat to the upside, soybeans to the downside and corn up but not as big as the rest. But I think we’ve seen and we’ve looked for rallies in these products and I think we’ve seen them. Now I don’t know that it is really now time to short the products here but I think you want to lighten up on the longs and look for new entries and new opportunities to buy here.”
