S&P Global reports that Australian wheat has held firm as Black Sea supplies slowly return to Asia after the Black Sea Grain Initiative. ABARES estimates a record 2022-23 Australian wheat crop of 39.2 million mt, up 7.7%.
Buyers have largely avoided Black Sea supplies due to financing and inspection concerns.
A record Australian crop gives Asian buyers ample supply, limiting upside in wheat prices even as Black Sea flows recover. Competition between the two origins caps wheat feed demand.
