Wheat markets diverged in November 2016 on quality differences. March SRW and March KC HRW futures fell 31 and 22.25 cents respectively and hit fresh lows, while March Minneapolis spring wheat rose modestly for a third straight monthly gain.
The HRS/HRW spread reached $1.24 1/4 per bushel, its highest since March 2012.
