Wheat Gives Back Monday's Gains on Tuesday

Wheat Gives Back Monday's Gains on Tuesday

Corn posted losses after six consecutive days of gains.  Wheat saw some pressure from the strong U.S. dollar and gave back the previous day’s gains. From the floor of the CME todd Horwitz shares
Horwitz: “Tuesday’s grain saw pretty much a mixed market. Soybeans showing the overall strength where corn and wheat were down. If we go back to Friday’s report, we’ve said all along we want to be a buyer in this place. That the lows are probably in and the risk rewards model favors being long. We’ve had all the bad news that could possibly be put into the market and now we’ve got the battle on between the Federal Reserve and what they decide to do on Thursday — whether they raise or not raise. So what does that mean, it really doesn’t mean something. But of course the dollars mean something and what is going on with U.S. dollar means something.”
