HRW Wheat (New-crop Futures): The Kansas City July 2018 contract closed at $5.16 1/2, down 20 3/4 cents for the week. July Kansas City wheat recently moved into a secondary (intermediate-term) downtrend as weekly stochastics posted a bearish crossover above the overbought level of 80%. Last week saw the contract test initial support at $5.17 1/4, a price that marks the 38.2% retracement level of the previous uptrend from $4.40 1/4 through the high of $5.65.

HRS Wheat (Cash): The DTN HRS Wheat Index (SW.X, national average cash price) closed at $5.92 1/4, down 4 3/4 cents for the week. The SW.X remains in a secondary (intermediate-term) sideways trend. Initial resistance is at the recent high weekly close of $5.98 3/4 with support the previous low weekly close of $5.85 1/2. Weekly stochastics would suggest a bullish breakout is likely.

HRS Wheat (New-Crop Futures): The Minneapolis September 2018 contract closed at $6.25 1/4, down 7 cents for the week. The contract looks to be in a secondary (intermediate-term) sideways-to-down trend. Last week's bearish close below the previous 4-week low of $6.25 would indicate an extended sell-off to test the previous low of $6.16 1/4.
