# Australian barley prices diverge from global markets | Stock Journal | SA

> South Australian and Victorian barley prices have cooled in recent weeks due to rain and increased grower selling. Analysts say Australian barley continues to diverge from weaker US corn, supported by domestic demand and Chinese buying, with China's 2025-26 barley imports forecast at 9.5 million tonnes.
