Money-Digest: Price of Wheat

Wheat prices have hit record levels as supplies dwindle, raising concerns about growing food inflation. High-protein spring wheat on the Minneapolis Grain Exchange has risen by 25%.

The 25% rise in Minneapolis came after all trading restrictions were scrapped. The March futures contract closed at up $4.75 at $24 a bushel, a record price.
