WHEAT
General Comments: Wheat closed lower yesterday as all markets fell in response to news that many countries will open strategic oil reserves in response to the war in Iran. Middle eastern countries are big buyers of world Wheat and many have been bombed by Iran now. Conditions are too dry in much of the US and too wet in western Europe for best production and quality potential. There is talk that Argentine Wheat is being sold into the southeastern US. There are higher prices paid in overseas markets and on drier weather in the Great Plains. The weather is now averaging above normal temperatures and some light precipitation is forecast for parts of the Great Plains and Midwest. Temperatures were cold enough a couple of weeks ago to promote Winterkill. Many parts of the Great Plains are too dry for best yield potential, but USDA has recently rated the crops in good condition. Russia has been cold as well, but no losses have been reported although some damage is possible.
