Wheat Limit Up AGAIN (+60 cents)

  1. Up 60 cents.

    Was in a spread of Long Mar/Short May. Covered the short MAY when it was up 45, now basically long 1 ZW of the Mar futures.

    Looking at 29,400 bid for the Mar contract. Unbelieveable.

  5. I don't trade grains (or ags at all, for that matter), nor do I understand them.

    How does a sudden wheat shortage develop in the middle of winter? Bad crops in the Southern Hemisphere?
     
  6. im surprised they didnt crank up the margins also

    on another note greed should be kicking in soon
     
  7. is the symbol for the wheat etf weat? that symbol won't come up

    There is no off switch for fiat money

    Wait and see what happens to corn once wheat trades down. Ags have a nasty habit of going down a lot faster than up.
     
  10. It's trading down right now :confused:
