CBOT, KBOT and MGEX wheat futures hit four-year lows on August 26, 2024, under harvest pressure and ample exporter supplies. Prices have since rallied for several weeks on a weaker dollar, short covering and escalation of the Russia-Ukraine war.
The September WASDE showed major exporter output only 1% below last year despite a 20.5 MMT cut in EU, Russian and Ukrainian production, which limits the rally's fundamental support.

Wheat's multi-week bounce from four-year lows came from a weaker dollar, short covering and Russia-Ukraine escalation, so the rally was position-driven.
