Hard Red Winter Wheat Futures Market News and Commentary

Wheat Falling Back on Monday AM Trade

Barchart - Mon Mar 30, 7:35AM CDT

Wheat is showing lower trade on Monday morning after weekend forecasts shifted a little wetter. The wheat complex saw mostly higher trade on Friday. Chicago SRW futures were the lagger, closing moistly within ¼ cent of unchanged, as May was up 9 ¾ cents last week. Open interest was down 1,405 contracts. KC HRW futures posted gains of 3 ¼ to 6 ¼ cents to lead the way, as May was 26 ¼ cents higher on the week. OI dropped 2,482 contracts. MPLS spring wheat was 1 3/4 to 3 1/4 cents higher on Friday, with May rallying 20 ¼ cents last week.

Over the weekend, forecasts shifted a little further west, with more portions of the Plains getting some moisture. Portions of the western Plains are now covered, with heavier totals in the eastern half.

Weekly Export Sales from Thursday took the total wheat commitments to 24.252 MMT, up 15% from the same period last year. That is 99% of USDA’s export projection and near the 100% average sales pace.
