BEIJING - Chicago wheat futures pulled back on Friday after a pre-holiday short-covering rally in the U.S., as harvest pressure looms in Europe and the Black Sea region. The most-active wheat contract dropped 0.59% to $5.87 a bushel, as of 0211 GMT, but remains near a four-month high and is set for a weekly gain.
