USDA expects US wheat exports of 700 million bushels, the lowest in 52 years, with HRW exports at the lowest since records began in 1973-74. Drought cut US yields and raised prices to the fourth-highest on record, while bumper crops in France and Russia have made US wheat uncompetitive.
Lost export competitiveness and drought-limited supply keep US wheat demand weak, pressuring domestic prices and favouring cheaper Black Sea and EU wheat in feed markets.
