The wheat market managed to get a Turnaround Tuesday bounce. Chicago SRW contracts were up 9 ½ to 12 ¼ cents on the session. Kansas City HRW contracts closed out the day with 4 ¾ to 6 ¼ cent gains. MPLS spring wheat was 6 to 10 ¼ cents higher across most contracts.
The next 7 days looks pretty dry across much of the Central Plains and further East, with just light totals (<1/4 inch) expected in parts of HRW and SRW country.
Reports of a Russian strike on a Ukrainian port in Odesa gave the market some support later in the session. With that said, the market has failed to put much extended reaction in the Black Sea situation as of late.
Algeria, normally large buyer, is back in the market for wheat.
