Wheat prices moved in different directions across southern Brazil this week. Milling-quality lots held firm because only about 150,000 tonnes in Rio Grande do Sul meet milling standards, roughly one month of mill activity.
Feed and export wheat values rose or fell by region, and Paraná references dropped despite almost no Type 1 supply.
A shortage of milling-grade wheat supports prices for high-quality lots, while rain damage to the crop limits the discount on feed-grade wheat. Buyers should expect firm premiums for quality lots and softer values for lower grades.
