World wheat markets have slipped 2-3% lower this week following better than expected wheat crop estimates from analysts for many of the world’s primary wheat exporters: the US, Russia, Ukraine, and the EU.

Much of the US wheat belt has stayed dry for several months but recent snow and rain has proved beneficial. Weekly crop ratings were ‘good’ to ‘excellent’ for both Oklahoma and Kansas which were up four points to 57% and two points to 38% respectively. More rain is due with significant storms forecast to arrive.
