Wheat prices are being pulled between strong, cheap Russian exports and prolonged US Plains dryness hitting the HRW crop, with US winter wheat rated only 27% good-excellent. A Russian export floor price of US$275/t FOB is rumored, and a 60-day Black Sea corridor extension expires May 18.
Cheap Russian supply caps SRW, EU and Black Sea values, while poor US HRW conditions keep a drought premium in KC futures. Buyers face continued volatility until rains arrive or the corridor is resolved.
