USDA raised its 2018-19 US winter wheat production estimate by about 1% to 1.198 billion bushels, with yield at 48.4 bushels per acre. Wheat futures rallied anyway after USDA lowered Russian and European wheat production.
Corn and soybean ending stocks also came in below expectations.
Lower Black Sea and EU wheat output tightens the export supply that feed buyers draw on for wheat-based rations, supporting wheat values. US supply increases limit the rally.
