This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Tuesday, July 30th. Wheat rallies a bit in trading upon word of Russian export reduction. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "Wheat rallied as well. The reductions in that Russian exports really gave the market a shot and I think that wheat was maybe leading the market today that really pulled it a little bit higher. It gave us all a boost and most of all the other data is pretty bearish with wheat. That's why it was actually pretty positive, but maybe what's happening in Russia, cutting their exports which would definitely bring everything to the U.S. I was thinking that maybe these prices are a little bit too high to be competitive with the EU, but it's very possible that we can get a little bit more of an equilibrium and start to move some of our grains. So, we're going to watch day by day, certainly with the weather but all eyes are definitely going to be on that August 12th report and that's still a couple of weeks away so we're going to see our markets pretty volatile between now and then."
