Wheat Slipping Lower on Tuesday AM

Barchart · 10/15 07:31

Wheat futures are showing some slight weakness so far on Tuesday morning. The complex posted double digit losses across the three exchanges on Monday. Chicago SRW futures were down 13 to 15 cents on the day. KC HRW contracts were 14 to 16 cents lower at the Monday close. MPLS spring wheat fell another 15 to 18 cents. 

The weekly Export Inspections and Crop Progress reports from USDA are delayed until today due to Monday’s holiday.

Rain is expected to reenter portions of the Southern Plains over the next weekend. That will be a relief to some planted acres that have seen a very dry fall. 

APK-Inform has increased their 2024/25 Ukrainian wheat crop projection by 0.3 MMT to 21.5 MMT. A Turkey ban on wheat imports has yet to be lifted despite an October 15 deadline.
