A USDA GAIN report forecasts Australia's 2018-19 wheat production at 21 million tonnes, about 12% below the prior estimate, on hot, dry conditions in eastern Australia. Barley output is forecast to rise to 9.5 million tonnes on higher prices and Chinese demand.
A smaller Australian wheat crop tightens exportable supply and supports feed wheat prices, while competition from Black Sea feed wheat is expected to cap some of the upside.
After 769 past bullish report events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (53% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.0%), and +0.2% over 20.
