Wheat and Corn Futures Up on Thursday

Wheat and Corn Futures Up on Thursday

I'm KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for Friday, June 16th. From the floor of the CME Group here is Joe Vaclavik.

Vaclavik: "The live cattle market was mixed here on Thursday. We had a sharply lower trade in near by June futures and we had mixed to higher in some of the deferred months. This June futures contract has been kind of interesting. First we rallied up in to the 130s here along with what had been a very strong cash market. Now we are beginning to see the cash cattle market deteriorate a little bit. We saw some very light cash trade at that 130 mark here this week. We'll see what else develops here between now and the end of the week and into next week."
