Wheat Prices Fall 1% on Low Demand Yet Post Weekly Gains

Wheat experienced a decline. The lower demand for U.S. wheat cargoes added pressure to prices. However, the market still appears set to post a gain for the week, recovering from losses in the previous period. Soybeans and corn also dipped but both remain on track for weekly gains. Wheat prices have shown some recent resilience after a prolonged downtrend that saw them fall. On the daily chart, the price is currently testing the level, with the moving averages beginning to flatten, indicating potential consolidation. Global supply uncertainties, especially from Russia, continue to add volatility to this market. The Sovecon consultancy noted that winter wheat sowing in Russia has fallen to an 11-year low, as drought conditions hamper planting efforts. Read more to find out why wheat prices fall.

Disclaimer:

Traders will likely keep an eye on weather developments in Russia and planting progress in South America, as both factors will influence future price movements. Soybeans and corn could experience short-term volatility, depending on rainfall patterns in Brazil and Argentina. Risk management is advised to complement these releases closely for further indications of market trends.
