A wetter spell is forecast for France next week, with a series of weather disturbances bringing heavy rain. Many rivers and groundwater are still in drought, and surface soils remain too dry for the season, which is affecting crops.
Rain could ease dryness for winter crops and soil moisture in France, a modest supportive factor for EU wheat and barley prices. The risk of river flooding is a local concern and unlikely to move grain markets.
After 1,773 past weather events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.5% to +2.1%), and +0.2% over 20.
