MIXED TRADE IN KC WHEAT FUTURES
Kansas City wheat futures traded mixed this morning, after starting lower but not finding selling interest towards the lower end of a recent trading range, according to traders. A little buying interest gave the market a boost back higher, traders said, finding some small support.
USDA weekly wheat export inspections were estimated at 10.6 million metric tones, traders said, a disappointing number.
In other news, the Hard Red Spring wheat tour sponsored by the Wheat Quality Council kicks off tomorrow, traders said.
KC Sep wheat was 2 ¼ cents higher at $5.51 ¼.
