US wheat futures decline as higher ending stocks and weak export demand weigh
In the past 24 hours, U.S. wheat futures have extended losses due to increased ending stocks and sluggish export demand. The USDA's recent report raised U.S. wheat ending stocks by 23 million bushels, contributing to the bearish sentiment. Additionally, U.S. wheat exports are 35% below last year, with FOB prices $95/ton above Russian origin, further pressuring the market.
Key points
- Tighter global stocks and smaller Russian and French crop estimates offer partial support.
- USDA's report increases U.S. wheat ending stocks by 23 million bushels.
- U.S. wheat exports are 35% below last year, with FOB prices $95/ton above Russian origin.
