## Why it matters

Strong year-on-year export sales support demand for U.S. wheat and may lend prices support, although sales were lower than the prior week's marketing-year high. The article also notes expectations for higher U.S. wheat stocks in the upcoming WASDE report, a potential bearish counterweight.
