Written By mine on Sabtu, 31 Maret 2012 | 20.04
Wheat inventories as of March 1 fell 16 percent to 1.201 billion bushels from a year earlier. The average estimate by analysts in the Bloomberg survey was 1.25 billion.
Wheat futures for May delivery rose 7.9 percent to settle at $6.6075 a bushel in Chicago, the biggest gain since Oct. 11. Most-active futures rose 1.2 percent during the past three months.
On the Minneapolis Grain Exchange, spring-wheat futures jumped the most in 10 months after the USDA said farmers will cut plantings to seed more corn, soybeans, barley and other crops.
Spring-wheat planting will fall to 11.976 million acres from 12.394 million a year earlier, the agency said. Analysts projected 13.35 million, on average.
