Wheat futures are trading higher this morning, up 7 to 21 cents in the JULY 2024 futures, marking the 7th day in a row of green numbers with almost $1.00 worth of ground covered on the wheat futures charts. CHI JLY 2024 CHART BELOW:
KC HRW futures are up the most with the driest parts of western Kansas and Eastern Colorado continuing to miss most of the rains. France and the eastern part of the European Union are still seeing too much moisture which is affecting their planting progress while the southern part of Russia's growing region is getting drier and drier. Managed money (speculative traders) are still buying up wheat futures and working their short positions down which has been amplifying the effect of this weather market. Yesterday's weekly US export sales report came in about as expected, with Corn being above expectations, Soybeans below, and wheat at about the upper third of the expected range.
We might be getting high enough on the wheat futures board for Hedge-to-Arrive contracts to make sense. With CHI SEPT Futures approaching $6.50 it may be worth leaving a sell order to try to lock in a good futures price. Basis levels will likely be lower than what we have been used to at harvest time but something around $0.50 seems like a good possibility. ($6.50 + 0.50 basis = $7.00 coast). Another option could be what is called a "Platinum" contract where the proceeds of selling a call option (not buying as in a minimum price contract) are added to a cash sale. If the futures are trading at or above the call's strike price when the option expires, it would turn into a HTA with the futures price set at the call's strike price. If the futures are trading below the strike price at expiration then the option expires. A little risk involved, but as long as you're okay with a potential HTA and keep grain on hand to back it, it can actually work out to your benefit. If you have any questions please give us a call.
Cash Futures Prices: Chicago JULY is up 11 cents at 632. KC JULY is up 21 at 661 and MPLS JULY is up 7 at 705. US Dollar is trading 0.44 higher at 106.04.
