CBOT wheat sinks on light demand, ample world supply

Published Updated

CBOT wheat March, May, July and September futures hit new contract lows. The new-crop contracts fell despite expectations for reduced plantings of soft red winter wheat this season.

September K.C. wheat also posted a contract low.

Analysts polled ahead of the USDA's weekly crop progress report expect the US winter wheat planting to be 85 percent complete.
