# Wheat set for best monthly rise since April on strong demand, supply crunch | Financial Post

> Chicago wheat futures rose toward a 2013 high of $7.80 a bushel, on track for their biggest monthly gain since April. Traders cited slow Russian export pace and tightening world supplies, and Russia cut its official 2021 grain harvest estimate to just over 123 million tonnes.

## Why it matters

Tighter Russian export flows and a smaller Russian crop support wheat prices, which lifts the cost of wheat-based feed ingredients and can pull corn and other feed grains higher as substitutes.
