December hard red spring wheat futures ended lower after testing resistance near $4.98 3/4 for a second session. USDA's September WASDE raised projected 2016/17 global demand growth to 3.8%, outpacing production growth of 1.4%, which lowered estimated ending stocks.
Demand growing faster than supply, led by higher feed and food use, tightens wheat balance sheets and supports prices. Feed wheat demand is a key factor for buyers.
