This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Thursday, Nov 14th. Wheat continues to hold up under trade pressures. From the Allendale trade desk, here’s Ryan Ettner.

ETTNER … “Wheat, that was the only market that did seem to show a little bit more aggressive fund short covering yesterday. The funds still have a slight short position to cover there. Weekly exports, also in the wheat, have improved over the last three weeks, so we’ll see on Thursday if that maintain, again, a 600-thousand-ton or better number to suggest that exports are still running pretty well there. We did get a new story for wheat that maybe China’s going to open up some buying from Russia. Of course, to us that means if China does buy any Russian wheat, that opens up the door for us to be more competitive in the world market as well. So, a little bit of supportive news there. We’ll want to keep eyes open for that.”
