ICAR cut its 2021 Russian wheat production forecast to 79.5 million tonnes from 81 million, citing poor-condition wheat in central regions. Russian wheat exports are at record levels, and UkrAgroConsult forecasts a record Black Sea sunseed crop of 39.7 million tonnes in 2021/22.
Ukrainian wheat exports are 82% of their potential for the season.
A smaller Russian wheat crop tightens the outlook for the world's largest exporter and supports wheat prices. A record sunseed crop will add to sunflower meal supply, which is bearish for that feed protein.
After 769 past bullish report events, WHEAT moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (53% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.0%), and +0.2% over 20.
