Wheat Markets End Tuesday Lower

I’m KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for December 10, 2014.
The wheat markets ended Tuesday lower across the board. From the floor of the CME Group, Joe Vaclavik shares his observations of Tuesday’s markets.
Vaclavik: “Grain markets were mixed here in Chicago on Tuesday. We had a higher trade in the corn market and a sharply lower trade the wheat market. Traders are waiting a USDA report on Wednesday morning. This is the monthly Crop Production and WASDE Report. Nobody looking for any real fireworks as this December report is looked upon as a place holder. As terms as news items this week, it was noted during the last couple of days that Russian officials essentially told us that there isn’t going to be any restrictions and they aren’t discussing any restrictions on exports out of the country. That news broke the wheat market pretty good here on Tuesday.”
