Anderson Finds Wheat Market at Critical Tipping Point

Thu, 02 Jul 2015 16:29:29 CDT

Anderson Finds Wheat Market at Critical Tipping Point Wheat prices surged higher in recent days. On this weekend's edition of SUNUP, Oklahoma State University Grain Marketing Specialist Dr. Kim Anderson said prices rallied 41 cents from Monday, June 29th through Wednesday, July first. In looking at the past eight trading days, he said wheat prices surged 98 cents to over six dollars a bushel on June 30th. Anderson attributes the rally to the funds buying into the market. For instance, the funds bought 20-thousand contracts on Tuesday, June 30th for 100- million bushels. The wheat market dropped on Wednesday, as the funds sold 10 to 12 thousand contracts for 50 to 60 million bushels. Anderson said the funds are getting into position for an unknown reason.


With the move in the market, Anderson recommends farmers sell some, but not all of their 2015 wheat crop now. With the volatility of the market, he believes farmers need a written marketing plan with a price trigger point or a kill date. He said this will get farmers to sell some of their crop while still staggering their marketing.    


In looking at the wheat market right now, Anderson said the market is moving in about 20 cent increments. If the market goes below $5.80, he finds it's likely to move lower to the $5.40 to $5.80 range. If prices next week get above six dollars, then Anderson said the market may be able to establish an upward trend and there could be another 40 or 50 cent price run.


"Six dollars is the critical level, break that we'll establish an uptrend, if we stay below that, then we're going to stay in the five to six (dollar) range," Anderson said.


With plenty of wheat around the world, Anderson said wheat prices won't change too much. Right now there are a lot of rumors about the quality of wheat available in the U.S. and European Union. He said the available supply of milling quality wheat remains tight, but discounts for lower test weight and lower protein wheat are prevalent.
