USDA reported that 48% of US winter wheat was rated good to excellent, up one point and 16 points above 2022, with emergence at 87%. Wheat futures hit new contract lows on November 20, and US export commitments reached 62% of the projected 19.05 MMT.
Improving crop conditions and sluggish sales weigh on wheat prices, though the export commitment level gives some support to demand.
