Australian wheat basis, the gap between domestic prices and Chicago wheat futures, has moved to a normal premium as expected production falls. The ABARES forecast is 26.2 million tonnes, and dry conditions are emerging across the country.
A narrowing discount to Chicago and a firmer basis signal tighter Australian wheat supply, which supports export and feed wheat prices and may lift competing feed grain values.
