ABARES cut its 2017 Australian wheat forecast to 21.6 Mt, down 2.5 Mt from June and 38% below last year's record. Queensland conditions were the main drag, partly offset by favourable weather in Victoria, South Australia and southern Western Australia.
A further downgrade to Australian wheat supply adds to export tightness, though the USDA noted global grain supplies remain ample, limiting the price gain.
After 769 past bullish report events, WHEAT moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (53% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.0%), and +0.2% over 20.
