# Global Wheat Stocks Tighten as U.S. Exports Gain Pace

> USDA's latest WASDE for 2025/26 showed US wheat exports lifted to 875 million bushels, with ending stocks at 869 million bushels and a season-average farm price cut to $5.30. Global wheat ending stocks were reduced to 260.1 million tons, the lowest since 2015/16, as losses in China, Brazil and Argentina outweighed EU gains.

## Why it matters

Lower global ending stocks and strong US export sales tighten the wheat balance and support prices. The reduced US farm price reflects softer near-term expectations, which limits how far the bullish signal can run.
