# Wheat futures rally, but cash markets tell a different story

> Wheat futures rose recently, with MGE hard red spring wheat up $0.09/bu and Kansas City up $0.14/bu on the week. Cash basis levels in western Canada and North Dakota have pulled back sharply to near the low end of their three-year range, and Euronext futures have weakened relative to US contracts. Barley exports are running at multi-year highs.

## Why it matters
