   Wheat Markets Surge to New Highs; Minneapolis Hits $10 for First Time in
More Than 9 Years

   With no real news impacting the markets, all three wheat markets took off to
the upside; both KC and Minneapolis scored new contract highs. Minneapolis
December wheat eclipsed $10 for the first time since 2012 as U.S. and world
stocks tighten. Soybeans were the weak leg of the grain and soybean complex,
with November again challenging the low $12 support area.
