	Daily Commentary
	5/18/12 AM     Dry crop reducing  weather  persists. Few  strategic alterations appeared in the overnight session. Short covering , perhaps at a lessor pace, still at work in the wheat pit.  Corn and wheat technical indicators continue have a positive bend. Chinese corn and bean needs drive the consumptive demand volume.  PNW soft white track bids are 'riding the tide.' The Portland Merchant's Exchange counts a total of eight grain ships are in the CRD and three  are loading. 5/18/12 PM    European and US wheat futures took another run up the board.  The frenetic trading week saw wheat futures rise 17.3%; the largest weekly rally since April 1996. Funds alone bought in 10,000 contracts. Technicals all pointed to coverage and length and the 'herd' obeyed.  At some point ,the pendulum will pause and take a 'corrective swing.' However, if crop chopping weather continues, the rally could have more legs.  Local cash market values went along for a more deliberate ride and posted new recent highs. New crop values starting to receive deserved country scrutiny.
