U.S. Wheat Trading Lower

Chicago Wheat is down 3 1/2 cents at 612. Kansas City wheat is down 3 1/2 cents at 644. Chatter about some fears of winter kill in the United States due to cold weather next week have surfaced. The chatter ebbed as the snow cover should be enough, but weather still needs to be watched. The USDA reported on Monday that weekly export inspections for wheat were 198,525 tonnes versus estimates of 325,000-475,000 tonnes. Weekly export sales were 293,100 tonnes for this year and 35,500 tonnes for the next marketing year.
