CENTRAL CITY, Neb. (Dow Jones)--Prices paid for wheat on the U.S. cash grain
market rebounded to renewed record highs again this week, ending Monday's
day-trading session with most classes of wheat worth an average of about
$7.40-$8.00 a bushel at the farm gate.
"The market has rallied in an effort to ration the tight supply of wheat,"
said Brian Hoops, with Midwest Market Solutions. "However, demand has remained
strong, even as prices have rallied, leaving wheat with a supply-and-demand-led
bull market."
Elevator bids for spring and winter wheat have appreciated by approximately
$3 thus far in 2007, with prices soaring $1.15-$1.35 during September alone.
Durum has made even more dramatic gains, with national average market prices
exploding $2 higher in just the past 12 days, to also establish new all-time
record highs of more than $11 a bushel.
