Wheat futures fell as weak export demand outweighed drought concerns. USDA slightly reduced its forecast for global 2026-27 ending wheat stocks, while exporter-held Russian stocks rose and USDA cut its estimate for Russian wheat exports, now down 17% to a five-year low.
Rising Russian exporter stocks add competitive pressure on U.S. wheat, while a smaller Russian export program tightens some supply, so the net effect is mixed but leans bearish near term.
