Chicago, Kansas City and Minneapolis wheat futures posted double-digit gains to start the week, with winter wheat hitting its best levels since summer. Drivers cited include dryness in Australia and Argentina, Argentina's export tax increase, Texas drought, and improving US-China and USMCA trade sentiment.
Wet seeding conditions limited US winter wheat plantings, and harvest weather hurt North Dakota spring wheat quality.
Multiple supply concerns from major exporters and weaker US crops tighten wheat supplies and support prices. Analysts expect further upside.
