This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Friday, July 5th. Well, the recent corn rally helps support the wheat futures in Wednesday trading. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "That corn rally was just giving some support to the wheat futures because the wheat indicators are all truly bearish, yet the markets still rallied. We had four days of drop market in wheat and I think they just didn't want to have it five sessions in a row. We had a little bit of a turnaround, but that double-digit corn rally just carried the day for all of the grains actually. And, it's a short week and now we're going to have a hard opening on Friday so there will not be any evening session tomorrow night so that's going to be very interesting. So, we'll have a full day on Friday going in to finish off the first week of July. So, that should make things very interesting when Friday comes so we're going to watch that closely."
