MN Broker Grain Markets Came Back After China Economic Jitters

Commodity Broker Gordy Kralovetz with Chiodo Commodities said the grain markets came back aggressively after concerns about the China economy early in the week. It was the week before there were rumors about a large China business was in financial trouble. It was a company that built ghost cities in China. They would build a city for maybe 50,000 thousand people in the middle of nowhere and then sell homes and buildings as Chinese people moved in.

Over the weekend there was talk another similar company was in financial trouble in China which really got the markets roiled up. Our stock market was selling off sharply and of course the grain markets were selling off too. Then during the week it became obvious China was not going to let their economy melt down and the financial markets recovered along with the grain markets.
