This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Monday, July 21st. Grain trading saw corn and soy holding steady Friday, but what about wheat? From the Allendale Trading desk, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "Wheat, on the other hand, was really soaring today. It surged higher. The counter-trend rally really has been gaining some momentum. We were up .15 cents , the market started to come back a little bit and then surged again towards the close here. We're fresh off an 11-year low. Also, the world stock, with a little bit of a reduction, that's kind of bullish. The U.S. dollar index also moving a little bit lower even in spite of the President talking about the U.S. dollar being very strong. So, it's kind of interesting that we had all these counter-moves. But, wheat seems to be the one market in the grains that actually started to take off today so it looked very strong ending this week. So, we'll see what happens next week, but we've got to take it a day at a time."
