Early sowing in south-eastern and south-western Australia has been strong despite a dry climate outlook, with NAB and Rural Bank reporting near-ideal conditions. Early ABARES forecasts show a 28.2 million tonne wheat crop and 9.9 million tonne barley crop.

After 334 past bearish weather events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.9% to +1.7%), and -0.2% over 20.
