Chicago Wheat Futures Futures


Wheat will continue to be a key food staple in the world. This is a grain with massive production from the United States, but there are other key producing regions in China, India, Europe, Russia and Australia as well, which make this a truly global commodity. Couple that with demand from a blossoming population that demands flour for breads and pastas and traders have an interesting and pure supply and demand driven market.
The CME’s soft red winter wheat futures and options stand as the industry standard for the world, and the price established on our market is the benchmark for producers, miller and exporters. Simply put, it’s the place where wheat prices are determined and set. With multiple sized contracts, traders can chose one that fits their needs.
