Wheat market shows mixed reaction to government crop report
Chicago May 13 Wheat traders reacted to the government winter wheat crop report with early bullish buying on a reduced acreage estimate of 4,868,000 acres though some experts remained skeptical. July wheat opened higher but fell back, while longer term gains followed by fears of poor regional rain and a larger harvested area than last year. Corn and oats followed wheat with firming prices, and hog market strength supported pork and related products as traders monitored Illinois and Minnesota state reports and car receipts.
