Bulls Rule Supreme in the Grain Market

In Chicago on January 27, bulls dominate the grain markets with wheat leading gains as buyers bid prices higher. Reports say Lichstein remains a buyer while wealthy Wall Street shorts cover, and France contemplates wheat imports from the United States and Australia. Corn stocks in Chicago show record-low season levels with strong weekly arrivals, oats see reduced short interest, and packers edge toward covering May ribs while shifting to July and September contracts.
