Wheat prices fell after Ukraine said it would keep exporting grain through Danube ports, which can handle 8-10 million tonnes in the new season. US winter wheat harvest was 56% complete and spring wheat conditions improved, while US wheat exports fell 65% week on week.
Alternative Danube routes and faster US harvest progress reduce the supply risk from the Black Sea grain deal collapse, pressuring wheat prices lower. Feed buyers face less near-term upside in wheat as a feed substitute.
