Wheat Market Fluctuates Amid Mixed Signals
Chicago May 4 The wheat market showed a tentative rise on demand from eastern buyers but sank later as selling pressure increased. May and July futures moved from slight gains to losses as reports of heavy selling from Kansas and uncertainty over a strike offset frost damage notes. Corn followed grain trends with subdued opening and a nervous close, while oats weakened. Across Midwest exchanges, prices for wheat, corn, and oats varied with local offers and receipts influencing the day’s output.
