Wheat Down After USDA Report Release

Wheat Down After USDA Report Release

I’m KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for August 13, 2014.

There seems to be good news concerning the labor dispute at the United Grain Corporation. It has reached a tentative labor agreement and grain inspectors will resume inspections immediately. From the floor of the CME Group Joe Vacalvik shares his observations of Tuesday’s markets.
Vaclavik: “We had a USDA report on Tuesday. The wheat market kinda of a neutral report nothing too surprising but we did see a little bit of a sell off there. The wheat market looks very poor from a technical standpoint and there really isn’t much fundamental there to rally this thing right now with the exception a bounce in corn market. Livestock markets here in Chicago were sharply lower on Tuesday we had a limit down trade in some cattle contracts and feeder cattle contracts. We have a market here that may have gone too high and is now overcompensating to the downside.
Chicago September Wheat ended Tuesday down 8 and 1/2 cents at 5-38. September corn ended the day up 1 and 3/4 cents at 3-58 and 1/2.
Portland prices for soft white wheat were down 8 and 1/2 to 10 cents at mostly 6-69 and 3/4. White club wheat prices were down 8 and 1/2 cents at mostly 7-52 and 3/4. Hard Red Winter wheat with 11.5 percent protein prices were down 10 and 1/2 cents at mostly 7-04 and 1/4. DNS wheat with 14 percent protein prices were down 12 and 1/4 to 22 and 1/4 cents at mostly 7-78.
October live cattle were down $2.77 and a half on Tuesday at 147-67 and half. September Feeder cattle were down $2.77 and half at 214-65. September class III milk was up 26 cents at 22-06.
