Recent scattered rain has improved moisture conditions for winter wheat across much of Europe, with additional precipitation forecast in the coming days. Cold air could expose dormant winter wheat in the Black Sea region to frost damage, while dry, warm conditions in the US Plains may deplete topsoil moisture.
Favorable European moisture supports crop prospects, but potential Black Sea frost damage and dryness in the US Plains pose production risks that could lend support to wheat prices.
