Wheat futures may be getting a boost today from a report I read regarding Europe’s wheat production challenges a possible boon for the American farmer in the foreseeable future. Wheat futures are up .01 cent today currently trading at $4.16 per bushel at the Chicago Board of Trade.
This past week it was observed by a commodity trading professional that Europe seems to have a double-whammy problem of “quality problems” over a broad area and talk from across the pond that the yield isn’t as quite good as expected. There is a very good possibility that some European business may be shifting to the United States.
Jim Bower, of Bower Trading – a commodity futures specialty firm, shared his fundamental view of the wheat futures market by stating, “I actually thought wheat acted halfway decent [this past week] because it seemed kind of to ignore bearish news.” Bower adds, “Now it may take a little while, but I think the worst is over in wheat.”
Wheat futures trend is “down” with no bottom formation completely in sight. Wheat futures current low around the $4.07 level is currently being tested..
