U.S. Wheat Associates says Australian drought has cut the harvest outlook 35% below the 10-year average, pushing Australian export prices to about $265/MT FOB. Argentina raised its wheat export tax from 7% to 12%, and Brazil opened a 750,000 MT import quota.
Australian drought and Argentine export taxes tighten Southern Hemisphere wheat supply, supporting world prices and export competitiveness for U.S. wheat.
