HRW Wheat Testing Price Support Levels- Kim Anderson Explains All
Fri, 22 Nov 2013 05:45:01 CST
"What goes up must come down" is a phrase that we have all heard for most of our lives- and that adage has apparently happened in our wheat market over the last few months. In his regular segment on the SUNUP program seen on OETA each weekend, Kim Anderson with OSU discusses how the hard red winter wheat market jumped up by about seventy cents a bushel in late September into early October- and then has tailed off since that time.
Anderson says currently the market is close to support levels at just under seven dollars a bushel- basis the Kansas City March HRW futures. He believes that the support level will hold- but if the market should close under $6.94 in that contract- there is a good chance that the wheat market could retreat about thirty five cents a bushel. He believes a more likely scenario is that the March contract will stay above that support level- and that the market will wallow around and perhaps drift a little higher in the weeks ahead.
