Chicago wheat futures on CBOT are still traded in the $615 per bushel zone amid concerns about lack of raining in US and Russia wheat growing areas and the latter country’s Black Sea-region. Last Commitment of Traders (CoT) reporting to CFTC (at 19 April, data for 16 April 2024) showed that large speculators had a very big, short positioning on wheat. Tomorrow, CoT data will show how this situation has changed from 16 to 23 April, as traders expect some large-speculators to be pressured by higher crop prices and will have to cover short positions, which may lead to even higher prices. At the same time, weather forecasts for Kansas, Montana, North Dakota show that the raining may be higher in May than in April, and often above 30-years average (especially after 8th May).
