India’s government said domestic wheat stocks were ample and it had no plans for large-scale imports. Private flour processors in southern India had nevertheless started importing small quantities amid rising domestic prices; the text cites government stocks of 26.8 million tonnes as of November 1 and record production of 80.58 million tonnes in 2008–09.
No large government purchases limits a potential source of import demand and is bearish for export markets, while continued private buying could provide modest support. The reported ample stocks temper the risk of a major import-driven price impact.
After 375 past bearish trade events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -2.0% to +1.1%), and -0.1% over 20.
