Mixed Wheat Markets on Thursday

Mixed Wheat Markets on Thursday

I’m KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for April 17, 2015.
Wheat contracts end Thursday mixed due to continued weather pressure. From the floor of the CME Group, Oliver Sloup shares his observation of Thursday’s markets.
Sloup: “It’s been really choppy across the board for corn, soybeans and wheat all trading both sides — lower then higher then flat on the day. Wheat really taking it on the chin ever since not being able to break above the double top in the 100-day moving average at $5.45. We’ve come 55 cents off that level which means we are over sold here and if you want to be on the long side this is going to be a start of a good level going forward — from here all the way down to $4.75.”
