Positive End Wednesday Across the Wheat Markets

Positive End Wednesday Across the Wheat Markets

I’m KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for February 12, 2015.
Wednesday closed with mixed markets — beans and wheat higher and corn lower. From the floor of the CME Group, Todd Horwitz shares his observations of Wednesday’s markets.
Horwitz: “Wednesday’s grain market — a little bit mixed trading here but I think if you take a look at the past week — where have we gone? WE’re stuck in quick sand. There is a lot of reasons to believe we will go lower — which I don’t believe we’re going to go. There are a lot of reasons to go higher. So if we take a look at what is going on — we’ve got all the news priced it all around. We’ve got oversupply not much demand — reason to go lower. We’ve got a very strong dollar — reason to go lower. Yet we have not gone lower - what is wrong with the picture?”
