Analysts told Reuters that a colder-than-usual spell in parts of Europe is unlikely to seriously harm winter grains, and may help crops in France harden after a very mild autumn. Sub-zero temperatures have not threatened French wheat, barley and rapeseed, and German frost in central and eastern zones was discussed as a localized concern.
Limited cold damage keeps European winter grain supply expectations intact, which is mildly bearish for wheat and barley prices and reduces the case for a weather premium.
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.
