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

Some Pressure on MGEX

The cash premium for Hard Red Spring wheat has declined to around $2.40 over Soft Red Winter, and July MGEX has dropped to less than $1.40 over CBOT. However the calendar spreads are still quite firm for MGEX and Duluth inventories continue to decline.

At this point I still believe that there is some short covering on CBOT that is forcing that market upwards more quickly than MGEX. But it has been a somewhat painful theory for the past week.

My biggest current worry would have to be rebalancing of commodity indexes next week which could spur significant CBOT buying. Oh dear.
