Good eastern Australian harvests are restoring Queensland's local grain supply, ending years of imports from Western Australia. About 5 Mt of WA grain has been shipped east since 2017 to feed livestock, and Graincorp reports strong protein and quality in new crop.
Reduced need for WA grain shipments to the east coast lowers domestic freight and export demand for Western Australian wheat and barley, weighing on those prices.
After 375 past bearish trade events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -2.0% to +1.1%), and -0.1% over 20.
