Wheat is a unique grain in the commodities markets because unlike soybeans and corn it is uniquely a human crop. Where soybeans and corn are likely to end up as fodder for animals, the same cannot be said for wheat. This gives it a different price dynamic that can be easier to analyze and trade. Additionally, due to the fact that wheat is so widely used, it can be subject to rapid price changes which makes it attractive to traders looking for quick profits.

Traders who are interested in speculating on price changes in the wheat contract should consider trading wheat with Contract for Difference (CFDs). This enables traders to speculate on the price of wheat without the need to worry about the complexity of futures and options trading or the extra costs associated with each.
