Wheat Rallying on Friday | Nasdaq

The wheat complex is in rally mode across the three exchanges on Friday, led by the winter wheats. Chicago SRW futures are 11 to 13 cents in the green at midday. KC HRW futures are up 13 to 14 cents. MPLS spring wheat is fractionally to a penny higher so far.

Freezing temps and very little snow cover in parts of HRW country may be adding some premium ahead of the weekend.
