Wheat with a strong day on Wednesday. We keep talking about its bearish fundamentals, but it continues to surprise. Here’s Virginia McGathey.

McGathey…. “Wheat did rebound today. That technical buying and futures is really. keeping it in the channel from $5.20 to $5.50, most of the news is actually bearish, but wheat has had some technical buying and helping the market up. We're going to watch that closely. I think that has a lot more room to have more volatility coming ahead.”
