Barchart columnist Jim Wyckoff said March SRW wheat futures broke a downtrend this week, with MACD turning bullish and $5.30 seen as key chart resistance. He noted that wheat rallied on rumors of Chinese buying of U.S. wheat, and that crude oil gains were supportive.
The contract low is $5.08-1/2 and the upside objective is $5.80.
Technical breakout and rumored Chinese demand point to upside for SRW futures, with firmer crude oil giving additional support through biofuel and cost links.
