DISCLAIMER: THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT I COULD BE WRONG.

Minneapolis Grain Exchange seats are cheap. Everyone should buy one...and then buy one for a friend.

Another Step toward Normalcy

Again today, as wheat prices declined modestly (15 cents) calendar spreadsmoved away from backwardation and hard wheat futures rose to a premium to CBOT, at least in the nearby futures.

While I speculated last Friday that the top may have been put in for this rally, I was very surprised to see the small addition to non-commercial longs in the CFTC COT report that came out after the close. This is worth watching, as is the cash/futures basis, in order to spot signs of commercial demand. Surely, the drought in Russia is very serious; the question was always about how much impact it would have on inventories.
