Bloomberg reports that strong European wheat harvests are keeping global food costs under control, with prices down to less than half of last year's record highs. The USDA has forecast record global wheat output for 2023-24 on the back of the European crop.

Large European supply and lower wheat prices reduce feed and food input costs for buyers, but tight reserves leave the market exposed to any weather shock. A poor June could reverse the current downward trend.
