Wheat prices slipped as a stronger dollar pressured export competitiveness. Investors also looked ahead to a series of central bank meetings that could shift interest-rate expectations.
A firmer dollar makes US wheat pricier overseas, which tends to reduce export demand and weigh on wheat prices.
After 69 past bearish macro events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.5% over 5 sessions (35% higher; middle half -2.6% to +0.8%), and -0.7% over 20.
After 2,356 past bullish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (60% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.7%), and +0.4% over 20.
