AHDB analysis says recent export restriction talk in the Black Sea, including Ukraine, Russia and Kazakhstan, has caused short-term volatility in wheat. UK feed wheat futures fell on the day, with the old-crop May contract at £155.25/t and new-crop November at £164.50/t.
Analysts expect large global wheat crops next season to keep the market fundamentally bearish.
Export bans can add short-term support to wheat prices, but large expected global crops are likely to limit any lasting rally for feed buyers.
After 137 past neutral policy events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.4% over 5 sessions (43% higher; middle half -1.9% to +1.2%), and +0.3% over 20.
