# Lower Chinese buying pushes grain prices down: Grain market daily | AHDB

> UK feed wheat futures eased after five days of gains, and Chicago and Paris wheat fell 3.5% and 1.2% on weaker-than-expected Chinese purchases. China bought only 120 kt of US wheat for December delivery, its first purchase since October last year. Argentina's wheat crop is forecast at 22.0 Mt for 2025/26, up from 18.6 Mt, and Paris rapeseed and Chicago soybeans also declined.

## Why it matters

A larger Argentine crop and weak Chinese demand add supply pressure to global wheat, while soft soybean futures weigh on the oilseed complex including rapeseed.
