Market Commentary: U.S. wheat futures traded higher overnight with traders currently extending gains in the pit session. European values were lower overnight. USDA Crop Progress and S&D report is due out tomorrow AM along with Weekly Export sales. Analysts are projecting a reduction in world wheat production from 645.73 bb (AUG) to 641.44 (SEP). Ukraine and Russia received .25 to 1" in some of the driest production areas. There is little rain in the forecast for Australia but Argentina is expected to receive beneficial amounts. SWW cash bids better.
All bids are subject to negotiation. Please call for confirmation.
