U.S. wheat futures finished mixed, with Chicago SRW lower, Kansas City HRW little changed and Minneapolis spring wheat higher. USDA data showed winter wheat planting slightly behind the five-year average, improved crop condition ratings, and weekly wheat exports below the year-ago level; the article also cited higher Ukrainian crop estimates and a lower Russian export forecast.
Improved U.S. crop conditions and weak year-on-year exports are bearish signals, while the lower Russian export outlook offers some support. The mixed futures performance suggests no clear overall price direction from the reported factors.
