US wheat futures rose sharply midweek, with Chicago SRW March up 12.75 cents to 536 cents/bushel and Kansas City HRW March up 9.5 cents. Dry forecasts for the Southern Plains and a weaker US dollar supported prices, and traders awaited USDA export sales figures.
Dry Plains weather threatens HRW yields and a softer dollar makes US wheat more competitive abroad, both supportive for feed-grain and wheat prices.
