One of the major issues discussed in the CFTC's April agriculture forum was the lack of convergence between futures and cash prices in the ag markets. In July, the agency's Agricultural Advisory Committee held another meeting about convergence, where Acting Chairman Walt Lukken noted that "Some commercial participants have lost confidence in the ability to hedge in certain of these markets and it is critical that market participants work with the Commission to address this matter aggressively." Today CME Group offered to the CFTC some recommendations to improve convergence in its wheat contract, including increasing storage rates during the period from July through November to 8 cents per bushel per month, adding delivery points and a recommendation that the vomitoxin level for par delivery be lowered from three parts per million (ppm) to two ppm.
