AFB Rice Close: Futures Also Posted Sharp Gains, But Fundamentals Remain Negative

Rice Comment

Rice futures also posted sharp gains today, but fundamentals remain negative. A big 2010 U.S. crop and big Thai intervention stocks will limit upside potential. Another Iraqi tender is anticipated, but U.S. price levels would likely need to be as much as $40 lower to get strong consideration. With a big harvest just weeks away, U.S. mills will need new sales.
