The USDA's February WASDE, released Feb. 8, showed few surprises for wheat.
World 2019/20 wheat ending stocks are projected at 9.83 billion bushels versus 10.3 billion last year, while U.S. HRW ending stocks are projected to fall from 581 million to 491 million bushels.
Tighter U.S. HRW protein supplies could support Kansas and Oklahoma wheat basis, but overall excess world supply limits upside for wheat prices.
