Wheat bids finished mostly lower with
profit taking on the board weighing on
bids. However, good export demand for
wheat this week, especially for toft white
wheat, offered light support to Portland
bids. Com bids were narrowly mixed after
yesterday’s sharp climb. Light export sales
to Taiwan overnight, added tome strength
to com bids. Soybean bids fell sharply after
TOetday’s sharp advances due to profit
taking, weakness in com bids, and dry
weather forecast for Brazil this weekend,
allowing for continued early harvesting.
Wheat mostly 1 to 5 cents lower except
