December wheat opened 1 1/2 cents higher on the day at 856 and established an early range of 820 to 859 1/2. The higher open in wheat met with immediate selling that took the market into lower territory into sharply early mid session. Wheat lost sharply to corn again in the early going. World crop weather is generally beneficial to crops. Rain is expected in the eastern and northern wheat areas of Buenos Aires province. Australia is expecting moderate rains in eastern growing areas and light rains in the western belt, but northern sections of New South Wales - in the east - will start to see deterioration if that rain does not materialize. The Canadian Prairies are cool and wet which is slowing the already late harvest pace, but forecasts do not include any damaging frost at this point. Bangladesh is again tendering for 100,000 tonnes of wheat. Germany issued its latest estimate of production for all crops today. It is up 22.8% to just under 50 million tonnes. This is due to expanded acreage, especially for wheat, and ample rains.
