ABARES forecast Australian winter crop production at a record high, with wheat up 35% to 32.6 million tonnes and barley up 24% to 10.6 million tonnes. The forecast is a 14% upward revision from the September report.
Production is expected to rise in every state.
A 14% upward revision to a record crop is a large supply increase for feed barley and wheat exporters. This adds bearish pressure on global feed grain prices.
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.
