Marketline Report for Wednesday, October 3rd
This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Wednesday, Oct 3rd. Grain futures, wheat in particular, get a boost from trade deals in Tuesday trading. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.
McGATHEY ... "Wheats been steady. It's actually trading on both sides of the market. We get a little bit of a run-up then it kind of comes back so it is a little bit of a mixed bag. So, some of the traders are kind of looking a little bit nervous about it, but the market's still holding itself very strong and holding firm. Some of the outside factors are a little bit in play and, of course, geopolitical ideas that are coming in, things out of the White House, what's happening around the world, certainly for wheat, is an issue that will always come into play, but right now the markets still look firm across the board and I think that this is still an overlay and still follow-through from the Mexico-Canada-US trade pact that finally came to fruition this past weekend."
