Wheat Trades Flat to Lower on Thursday

I’m KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for December 5, 2014.
Canadian wheat production was reported with 1.5 million metric tons more than had been estimated previously. From the floor of the CME Group, Larry Shover shares his observations of Thursday’s markets.
Shover: “Wheat was very stunning given the big sell off we had yesterday and early this morning ended up in the flat zone. March flat on the day. Nothing really big to carry the narrative, a lot of people think it was in sympathy with the other markets. We did see Canadian production report came out a little bit better than estimate projection. Sales were definitely a little bit on the light side but definitely within consensus.”
