This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Thursday, Mar 14th. Volatility remains as grains give back some of Tuesday's big gains. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "I know that we had talked about this before, that wheat would be the leader if the market actually started to rally and sure enough it showed us it did. A lot of it is because it's been heavily oversold and the market's a little bit thin so you get a little bit of a head of steam and it really starts to push it a little bit higher. But, the rally has still held on to a lot of its numbers and there's still a lot of shorts to be covered, but it may be too early to say that the bottom is in yet so we'll keep our fingers crossed that the market is going to continue to move. It has been very strange that a lot of the investment funds have been short, corn, wheat and soybeans, at this level, at this time of year right before the planting season has started."
