This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Monday, April 9th. Tariffs and China are the most spoken words on the trading floor Friday. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "Now, wheat was mixed a little bit. Two-sided trade has built some momentum. If you look at the charts, the market is really starting to move higher. It's very difficult with this tariff talk to really get wheat off the ground and get it moving. And, I think it's put a lid on a firm rally, but the momentum is building. It's still dry in the southern plains and as we're moving closer and closer into the harvesting of that winter wheat, we're going to see what kind of crop damage there is and wheat could definitely be one of those markets that could fly from here. So, we're watching that Friday's lows of last week is definitely in and we're starting to build some momentum."
