S&P Global reports that ABARES raised its forecast for Australia's 2020-21 wheat harvest, with output the highest in at least 31 years. New South Wales production is seen reaching 13.1 million tonnes and Australian wheat exports to China are above 1 million tonnes so far.
Higher Australian output and strong China-bound exports increase competition for other origins in Asian markets, which weighs on wheat prices. Larger supplies also support lower freight demand for Australian grain cargoes.
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.
