Wheat prices recovered after the May USDA report had pushed them down, as speculators covered shorts after Chicago soft wheat hit a two-month low. Strategie Grains cut its 2020/21 EU wheat forecast to 132.9 million tonnes and its EU corn estimate to 65.9 million tonnes.
Drought in parts of Europe and a Tunisian tender purchase also supported prices.
Lower EU wheat and corn crop estimates tighten European feed-grain supply, supporting prices, though the rebound is largely speculative and may be short-lived.
