The IGC's June report raised global new-crop wheat production by 2.3 million mt, led by the EU and India, to 807.9 million mt. Global cash wheat prices fell sharply in most origins as Middle East tensions eased and Northern Hemisphere harvest pressure grew.
CBOT and KC September futures closed lower on the week.
Higher production forecasts and harvest selling point to lower wheat prices and ample feed-grain supply for buyers. Stocks are still tightening slightly, which limits how far prices can fall.
