Wheat prices fell on Friday, despite the US dollar’s ​​broad drop against most majors, as some agricultural commodities were weighed down by profit-taking in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

 

Wheat had hit more than 1-year peak after unfavorable weather forecasts and some exporting countries harvesting their crops.

 

Weather agencies forecast that the Midwest states in the US will be prone to dry weather over the next 6 to 10 days.

Wheat December futures fell 0.5% to close at $5.93 per bushel, after hitting a day high of $6.06 and a low of $6.06.
