Wheat Futures Market News and Commentary

KC Futures Lead Wheat Lower

The Kansas City HRW wheat market closed the midweek session just fractionally to 2 1/4 cents off the daily lows on 25 to 32 1/4 cent losses. MGE wheat was also sharply lower on Wednesday, getting back below the $8 round number on 22 to 23 cent losses. Chicago wheat also faded on Wednesday, but front month losses were limited to 13 3/4 cents. 

NOAA’s updated 7-day QPF has rain for NE/KS/CO. Accumulations are heaviest in E. KS with as much as 2 1/2” expected in the coming week. Most areas are expecting at least an inch. TX will stay mostly dry, and OK accumulations will top out at an inch. ECB SRW fields will also get rainfall, but the spring wheat area will miss out. 

The monthly Census data had April wheat exports at 55.32 mbu. That was up 5 mbu from March, but was 9 mbu lighter than April ’22. The season’s total was 697 mbu with May shipments to add. The season’s pace was at 93% of the WASDE forecast.
