Grain Central reports that thin snow cover leaves winter wheat and barley in central and western Europe exposed to sub-zero temperatures. Snow cover is excellent in Russia and the former Soviet Union, but heavy snow has disrupted wheat and barley movements to Black Sea ports.
Winterkill risk in Europe and slowed Black Sea port logistics could tighten near-term wheat and barley export supplies, supporting prices.
After 1,072 past bullish weather events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (55% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.3%), and +0.3% over 20.
