This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Monday, Oct 22nd. A boost in exports gives wheat some momentum in Friday trading. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "Wheat was firmed up somewhat, but there's an uptick in the export sales and so that hit a forecast by the USDA for the first time in maybe like three weeks and so that's why the market really got a little bit of a lift. That being said, we're still stuck in a channel in the very low area for wheat above $5.00, below $5.20. We can't really break out of that channel right now. We need more news or at least more exports to really move along or move us out of that channel, but there is not much else on the front burner for wheat and so we expect that the consolidative phase is going to continue."
