AHDB said UK May 2027 feed-wheat futures fell 1.9% to £198.75/t amid improving global supply prospects, US harvest progress, lower crude oil prices and hopes for Russia–Ukraine peace talks. Continued disruption to Black Sea grain exports and a new US wheat and sorghum sales agreement with Chinese buyers provided some support, while ample expected maize supplies weighed on the outlook.
Improving global availability and the prospect of resumed Black Sea shipments add to supply pressure and are bearish for grain prices; ongoing export disruption and Chinese buying offer partial support. Ample maize supply also limits near-term upside.
