Wheat and barley trade in eastern Australia has slowed amid wet-harvest concerns and weaker yield prospects in the west. Lachstock cut its national 2020-21 wheat estimate by 125,000 tonnes to 28.08 Mt, as a cut in WA was only partly offset by a rise in NSW, and the Bureau of Meteorology has declared La Niña active.
A lower national wheat estimate supports prices, while the wet-harvest and La Niña outlook adds to yield uncertainty, though weaker early-October barley bids cap the rally.
After 1,072 past bullish weather events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (55% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.3%), and +0.3% over 20.
