Australian growers are roughly one-third to halfway through winter-crop sowing, with canola mostly planted and wheat and barley following. Consensus area estimates for wheat rose above ABARES' March forecast amid strong prices after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

After 334 past bearish weather events, WHEAT moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.9% to +1.7%), and -0.2% over 20.
