Wheat futures fell sharply in the week to November 27, with Chicago SRW down 3.1% and Kansas City HRW down 4.8%, after improved US winter wheat conditions (50% good or excellent) and snow cover. French planting was delayed by rain, and a planned loading of French wheat bought by China was pushed to 2024.
Improving US crop ratings and weak export pace point to ample supply and lower wheat prices, while delayed French planting and postponed Chinese shipments are modest offsets.
