DTN Closing Grain Comments 02/14 13:53
Wheat Prices Soar Into Weekend; Corn, Soybeans Firmer to Close Week as Well
Row-crop markets received a late-week boost, mainly led higher by wheat
markets that are firming on adverse weather prospects for both the Northern
Plains and Black Sea areas. Meanwhile corn and soybean prices also firmed
Friday, with the former again challenging upside resistance. Outside markets
Friday were mixed but a mostly positive influence on ag commodities, mainly due
to an increasingly softer U.S. Dollar Index, which has not retraced back to its
lowest reading in two months. A reminder that U.S. grain markets will be closed
on Monday, Feb. 17 in observance of Presidents Day.
