KCBT Wheat Trades Lower with Corn

Jul 29, 2011

Kansas City wheat futures traded lower this morning, pressured by expected rainfall in dry areas of the U.S. Corn Belt over the weekend, according to traders.

A break in the weather should bring some relief to the northern plains region of the U.S., traders said. In export news, Egypt purchased 240,000 metric tonnes of wheat from Russia.

The spring wheat tour concluded yesterday with an estimate of 41.5 bushels per acre.

KC Sep wheat was 15 1/2 cents lower at $7.68 at midday.

Spring Wheat Concerns Support KC Wheat

Jul 28, 2011

Concerns regarding the conditions of the U.S. spring wheat crop brought support to Kansas City wheat futures this morning.

Reports of below-average yields are coming out of the Wheat Quality Council Spring wheat tour which is underway in the Northern Plains, traders said.

Participants are anticipating yields to come in under previous estimates by the North Dakota Ag Statistics Service.

While some rain is in the forecast for corn and soybean areas, southern areas of the Midwest continue to experience drought conditions.

KC wheat shrugged off a stronger U.S. Dollar this morning and more export sales out of Russia, traders said.
