🌾 Wheat Market (Strong & Leading)
Kansas City wheat was up over 20 cents earlier, still holding ~16 cent gains
Dry conditions in western Kansas & eastern Colorado continue to drive the rally
Rain keeps getting forecasted… but never shows up
July KC wheat: ~655 (+16.5)
Chicago wheat:
Being pulled higher but lacking strength
Up ~4 cents and well-off highs
KC vs Chicago spread sitting around 50 cents
Minneapolis wheat still holding a premium over KC
🌽 Corn
Tried to move higher but couldn’t hold gains
Now slightly lower on the day
Export sales strong at 1.4 MMT
Running ahead of USDA pace
Likely means lower carryout coming in future reports
July corn down ~3 cents
Wheat Leads While Corn, Beans, and Livestock Struggle
