Markets Now Looking for Signals from U.S. Weather, Anderson Says

Markets Now Looking for Signals from U.S. Weather, Anderson Says
In his preview to this week's SUNUP program, Kim Anderson analyzes a slight drop in wheat prices and offers help for producers calculating whether to graze out or harvest their wheat.


"What the market is watching now is weather, with either the hard red winter wheat crop or in Russia or in some other areas. India, they're talking about India with maybe another record crop, their seventh record crop in a row coming online. But most of the emphasis is placed on weather in the United States and around the world."


Closer to home, producers are trying to make the decision to graze out their wheat or pull their cattle off. Anderson advises looking to the July wheat contract for guidance.
   

"If they're going to calculate whether to graze out their wheat, I think $7.75 is a pretty good price to use on that. If you look at the July futures contract and subtract about 55 cents off of that you get about $7.85 is what the market is predicting now. So I think a good price is $7.75.
