Wheat and corn at multi year highs,on the Paris exchange, going parabolic (headed to blow off top).Weather in Europe hot and dry. That,s why corn and wheat are better than beans. Also I think i read about Austria having weather problems with their wheat.

I think the forecast for Europe is for high heat and dry from Spain across France and Germany over to Ukraine and Russia.

Yes World Weather is supportive for Wheat BUT today the rumor was the Ukraine was going to limit wheat exports.
Funny how nobody caught that news today not even at AGTalk

Wheat; On the Paris exchange a little weaker on forecast of rain and cooler temps moving across Europe latter this week and earlier next week. There is a gap at 208 -210 euros if this starts to fill would be a sign that the top is in. If i were trading this I would have a stop at the gap and short at a break of the bottom of the gap. Wheat growers in US should be hedging 2019 wheat at these prices.
Corn; No gaps on the Paris chart but corn is weaker to day and weaker than wheat. This may be a short trem top in corn as we may head lower into harvest.
These are just my opinion and not meant to be trading advice.
