Wheat futures fell sharply from mid-February highs as winterkill fears eased, then recovered to established price floors. Attention now turns to dryness in the U.S. Southern Plains, drought in the Black Sea region, and excess moisture in the EU, alongside tariff-driven export uncertainty.
Weather risks in the U.S., Black Sea and EU could tighten wheat supply, but tariff uncertainty and a weaker dollar are capping gains. Net effect is volatile, with support near recent floors.
