   Wheat Markets Explode With All Rising Above The 100-day Moving Average; Corn
Firms As Well

   Paris milling wheat futures set the stage for a dynamic wheat rally, gapping
higher and extending those gains. U.S. wheat markets followed, led by Kansas
City futures with all three of the markets eclipsing their 100-day moving
averages. December corn also rose again for the fourth straight day to the
highest level since June. Soybeans and soymeal backed off, while bean oil rose
with crude oil.
