Excess rain and hail in recent weeks caused significant damage to winter crops, corn and newly planted soybeans in the Espumoso region of Rio Grande do Sul. Farmers also face financial limits, and wheat planted area has fallen considerably in favor of canola.
Localized losses in a Rio Grande do Sul region are small relative to national supply, so the price effect is limited, though reduced wheat area points to somewhat tighter regional wheat supply.
After 1,076 past bullish weather events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (55% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.3%), and +0.3% over 20.
