# Wheat Falls into the Weekend

> Wheat futures fell on Friday across Chicago SRW, Kansas City HRW and Minneapolis contracts. Managed money increased its net short positions in Chicago and Kansas City wheat, while U.S. wheat export sales for 2026/27 were 28% below the year-earlier level and behind the average pace. France had planted 84% of its wheat crop by November 2, ahead of last year.

## Why it matters
