Wheat Ends Day Lower

Wheat Ends Day Lower

I’m KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for May 1, 2015.
After big export sales cancellations, wheat ended the day in the red on Thursday. From the floor of the CME Group, Oliver Sloup shares his observations of Thursday’s markets.
Sloup: “We came into the morning relatively quiet overnight trade - not a lot going on in the market. Then all of a sudden we saw a flush out across the board — soybeans, wheat and corn all taking a hit. Looking at corn $3.63 is going to be a massive level going forward. If you draws a line back from August to December to now this has been a key support and resistance level for the past several months and that is going to continue. Also a lot of traders watching the U.S. dollar very volatile currencies across the board.”
