Greens In The Grains
This is Tommy Allen with the Market Line Report for March 11th. A very nice field of green across the board in the grain market testing limits on the day. Oliver Slope with II Trader, covers more from the floor of the CME in Chicago.Sloup "A kind of some short covering, along with some fear premium from weather coming in, after what was determined to be a dud USDA report. Kind of a relatively quiet and mute report, as some traders were looking for more of a bearish tone, stepping to the sidelines and reducing risks. That's really what's taking us up to some resistance levels across the board."
