From June through October 2026, Italian soft bread-making wheat prices rose more than 15% on the Bologna exchange, while high-gluten wheat rose 14.7%. Euronext’s nearby wheat futures gained 17.5%, partly alongside corn reaching its highest levels since 2022; durum wheat prices rose 8.7% from June, though the 2026–27 marketing-year average remains 30% below the five-year average.
Rising corn prices can support wheat by increasing the cost of a competing feed grain, while higher wheat prices may raise feed costs where wheat is used in rations. The article reports price trends rather than a new supply disruption, so the broader price impact is limited.
