Wheat was the big loser in the US futures market overnight. Chicago soft red winter wheat sharply so, hard red winter wheat and spring wheat with single digit losses. Corn and soybean futures were steady to firmer by the close. Pressure came from both the EU and Russian supplies...

The US is eating turkey and getting basted, so no US data to consume this morning. The London and Paris products are not going to help us much though. London feed wheat futures were back £3.20 on the nearby and March contract. Paris milling wheat, that had been the...
