Wheat Futures: Which Direction?

Wheat futures have been riding high over the last four weeks, but that seems about to end, even though weather conditions in Canada and Russia continue to cause problems for the grain.

The challenge for wheat, as it has been for years, is the increasing amount of acreage around the world being dedicated to growing the grain.

With that in mind, the inevitable bad weather in various parts of the world, while having a temporary impact on wheat futures' prices, overall level off and bring them back down to where they belong.

Until there is a move toward planting less wheat, which is unlikely any time soon, this will remain the way things are.

Heading into August, wheat futures will drop down to about $5 a bushel, or even lower.
