Wheat Market Mixed as Weather and Reports Shift Prices
The market shows a general weather driven improvement in North American wheat, with the June government crop report casting a bearish note.

Winnipeg lull in prices holds as old wheat supplies tighten and futures for July and November trade at carry and premium levels.
