ABARES forecasts Australian grain and oilseed production to fall back to average levels in 2017-18 after a record 58.9 million tonne winter crop in 2016-17. Record global cereal output has pushed grain prices to real lows not seen since the mid-2000s.
Record Australian supply plus lower 2017-18 output shifts the wheat and barley outlook, with global prices staying low while Australian exports remain competitive.
After 1,006 past bearish report events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.6% to +1.8%), and +0.3% over 20.
