Dry soils in Russia and Ukraine are hampering planting of the next winter wheat crop, with European Russia showing significant dryness. Russia's latest crop fell about 10% on weather, and Ukraine's output is about a third below pre-war levels.
Planting delays in the Black Sea, which supplies a large share of world wheat exports, raise next-season supply risk and support wheat prices.
After 1,072 past bullish weather events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (55% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.3%), and +0.3% over 20.
