India's monsoon arrived early but then stalled, leaving rainfall 18% below normal so far this season. Tight supplies of milk, cereals and pulses are expected to keep food prices high, and the government has announced no plans to import grain.
A weak monsoon and no planned imports leave Indian wheat and rice supplies tight, supporting prices in both domestic and world markets.
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.
