Good afternoon and welcome to Markets Desk.
Wheat is the story in the grain pits today, with the complex surging to fresh highs across all three exchanges. Chicago soft red winter futures climbed as much as twenty-eight and a quarter cents, Kansas City hard red winter was up nearly thirty cents on the session, and Minneapolis spring wheat followed suit. Supply concerns and technical momentum are driving the move, and traders are watching closely to see whether this rally has legs heading into the week.
Turning to equities, Cushing Asset Management has exited its entire position in Hess Midstream LP, offloading over one million three hundred fifty-seven thousand shares in a transaction valued at roughly fifty million dollars. That kind of institutional exit at scale tends to raise questions about conviction in the midstream space, and investors in Hess Midstream will want to understand whether this reflects a broader portfolio reallocation or something more specific to the name.
And ahead of earnings, Meta Platforms is facing a pointed question from the analyst community — can it monetize artificial intelligence beyond its core consumer advertising business? The company has demonstrated real strength using AI to sharpen ad targeting, but whether its large language models translate into meaningful enterprise or platform revenue remains an open and consequential question as results approach.
That's the tape.
