France's farm ministry raised its 2026 winter soft wheat area estimate to 4.59 million hectares from 4.56 million and its winter rapeseed area to 1.37 million hectares from 1.34 million. Winter barley area was also raised to 1.26 million hectares.

After 1,006 past bearish report events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.6% to +1.8%), and +0.3% over 20.
