ABARES expects Australia to harvest a record 58.4 Mt winter crop, driven by Western Australia and New South Wales. Flooding and rain in eastern states have raised concerns that damaged grain will be downgraded and sold at lower prices.
Farmers may miss out on historically high prices.
Large supply from Australia adds to global grain availability, while quality downgrades reduce the premium for feed-quality wheat and barley. Net price effect is bearish for feed grains.
After 1,006 past bearish report events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.6% to +1.8%), and +0.3% over 20.
