Markets continue to be mixed ahead of the signing of the phase one trade deal and the coming USDA report. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here is Virginia McGathey.

McGathey…”The global demand issues are definitely inevitable coming out of the Middle East, but the a WASDE report that's going to be coming in on Friday could help a lot and I think that that's maybe what's happening with the wheat slide. We're hoping that maybe they would be better information, but the expectation is it's going to tell us that we've got a lot of wheat on the side that hasn't been moving along, and I think that that's why the slide is starting to happen.”
