CBOT wheat ends higher on faltering dollar

April 11 (Reuters) - Chicago Board of Trade wheat futures closed up on Friday as the U.S. dollar weakened against other major currencies, analysts said.

• CBOT May soft red winter wheat WK25 settled up 17-3/4 cents at $5.55-3/4 per bushel.

• K.C. May hard red winter wheat KWK25 ended up 10 cents at $5.68 per bushel, and Minneapolis May spring wheat MWEK25 gained 13 cents to finish at $6.15 a bushel.

• For the week, most active wheat Wv1 gained 5%.

• The dollar weakened against major currencies on Friday as tariff disputes between the U.S. and other countries dented confidence in the dollar as a safe haven, pushing it to a three-year low versus the euro.

• A lower dollar tends to make U.S. exports cheaper and more competitive on the global market.

• The USDA reported U.S. wheat ending stocks at 846 million bushels, up from its March estimate of 819 million.

• Analysts, on average, expected the agency to put wheat ending stocks at 825 million bushels, according to a Reuters poll.
