# Oats swinging higher, but rangebound - Grainews

> Chicago oat futures have traded in a range of roughly US$3.40 to US$4 per bushel over the past year, climbing from US$3.41 on Feb. 12 to US$3.86 on March 4. Analysts say the swings reflect thin speculative and hedging volume rather than cash demand, and Canadian cash prices held steady.
