Wheat Decides a Sharp Setback in Chicago Market
Wheat slipped broadly with Chicago prices posting declines of about 14 to 1 cent, July at 1.06 and September near 1.07. Losses were driven by Winnipeg market weakness and rains in the west and southwest, while oats fell and provisions varied up to 10 cents. A brief corn surge near the close faded as shorts covered, leaving a bearish tone from favorable weather and hog-priced firmness.
