“Calling the top of the KC wheat market two weeks ago”

  • Monday Report - October 28, 2024

Below, is an excerpt from this week's recent WeatherWealth newsletter

Two weeks ago, right at the top of the wheat market, I advised taking profits in the long July KC wheat leg, which was part of a corn vs. wheat spread. 

The reasons wheat prices are tanking again are:

  • Rains coming to key Plains wheat areas and excellent U.S. planting conditions
  • The stronger dollar is hurting some commodities. Wheat is one of them.
  • A potential big Australian crop
  • A slight increase in rains for drought-stricken Russia, even though 2024 and possibly 2025 production has come down
  • The seasonal bearish factors below
