Dow Jones Description

Since its inception in 1881, MGEX has been the principal market for hard red spring (HRS) wheat first as a cash market, then futures and options. Millers, exporters, elevators, farmers and speculators look to MGEX when they trade HRS wheat and with good reason. Known for its stable and reliable trading environment, MGEX has a reputation as a good place to do business. It offers the liquidity, the product line and the oversight to ensure fair and accurate trading for all its participants. MGEX now offers new index-based contracts in addition to their flagship hard red spring wheat. Index futures and options contracts are offered on hard red spring wheat (HRSI), hard red winter wheat (HRWI), soft red winter wheat (SRWI), corn (NCI) and soybeans (NSI). These indexes are calculated daily by Data Transmission Network (DTN), an Omaha-based electronic commerce and information services company.
