About Wheat Futures (CBOT) W

Wheat futures and options effectively manage the price risk that wheat merchandisers, producers, food processors, livestock operators, importers, and others have related to the purchase or sale of wheat. Wheat futures and options trade to hedge or speculate based upon expectations of directional price, spread movement or volatility in wheat. Wheat futures take advantage of arbitrage and spread opportunities with other commodities including related grains, oil seeds, and live stock. They also trade in deep liquid markets.

Wheat futures and options are a dollar denominated commodity, with physical delivery of 5,000 bushel contracts (approximately 136 metric tons) for a full-sized contract, and a mini-sized contract being 1,000 bushels. Price quotes are cents per bushel.
