French soft wheat and winter barley crops remain about a week ahead of their usual development pace after a mild autumn, FranceAgriMer data showed. Nearly all soft wheat and winter barley was rated good or excellent, with sowing almost complete.
Early, healthy crop development is neutral-to-bearish for near-term EU wheat and barley prices, though early growth raises frost-vulnerability risk that could support prices if cold arrives.
After 224 past neutral weather events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (46% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.5%), and +0.4% over 20.
