McGathey…”Wheat was a little bit lower today. The futures continued to slide the sixth day in a row. Now we knew that it overshot the objective a little bit on that upside, and so you see the market continue to move. Lower prices did breach through a lot of the technical support numbers and some of the speculative funds are a little bit short.”
Friday wheat futures were/mixed with March closing about unchanged at $5.24.
March Corn also nearly unchanged at $3.76 ½.
Very little change in the Portland prices for soft white wheat, club wheat or Hard Red Winter wheat Friday.
