Recent scattered rain across the UK, France, Benelux, Germany and Eastern Europe has kept soil moisture supportive for winter wheat, with temperatures near or above normal. Forecasts show more rain next week, but cold air in the Black Sea region could cause frost damage to dormant winter wheat, with the risk rising around the weekend.
The US Plains winter wheat is generally dormant in good condition, though recent dry and warm weather could weigh on it.
Adequate moisture in Europe supports yield prospects, which is mildly bearish for wheat prices. Frost damage in the Black Sea, a major exporter, would be the key upside risk if it proves severe.
