Kim Anderson Says Wheat Prices Have Probably Reached Their Peak
Thu, 08 May 2014 16:57:33 CDT
In his preview to this week's SUNUP program, Dr. Kim Anderson, Oklahoma State University Grain Marketing Specialist, says he believes wheat prices may have reached their peak.
"We've had a good $2-plus run up in prices over the last couple of months. There are signs that we are hitting the top now. Production is going to determine if prices go up from now and we're not going to know how much wheat we've produced until it rolls across the scales. But there are signs that we are getting close to the top."
He says some of those signs include U.S. and foreign stocks. Stocks are going up in the rest of the world while the U.S. is the only country projected to have lower ending stocks.
"That means that we have adequate supplies of wheat throughout the world. If the foreign countries have good harvests, then I think that is going to put a cap on how high our prices are going to go."
