I’m KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for June 25, 2015.
It was a volatile day in the grain markets on Wednesday. From the floor of the CME Group, Chris Robinson shares
Robinson: “Markets getting ready for next Tuesday’s USDA reports and also July option expiration Friday so some good volatile two sided trade today. Wheat holding in there. We’ve had a good pull up here on concerns of Hard Red Wheat we might have some condition problems. You have seen the funds — the funds have cut their short funds quite a bit. They are only short 30,000 contracts of wheat and about 100,000 contracts of corn. They had had more substantial positions they had been short about 130,000 contracts of corn and they had been short about 100,000 contracts of wheat.”
