Stock prices for wheat grow, however physical market is stable

In the wheat market currently, there are two trends: on the exchanges the price of wheat of the new harvest are growing with support from dry weather in key producing countries, while the physical market is calm due to the harvest importing countries and procurement of wheat from local producers.

 

the Shortage of rain in the wheat belt of the US and projected for the next decade the heat in Ukraine and Russia remain the main drivers of growth of stock prices. Sowing of spring wheat in the United States and Russia has been slower than last year. As of may 21, spring wheat sown in the USA 61% of the forecast against 71% in 2017, and 64% on average for 5 years. In Russia, on may 23, spring wheat sown 6.4 million hectares or 49.3% of the forecast against 65,4% (8.5 million ha) in 2017. The acreage of spring wheat in Russia may be reduced due to dry weather, which will be one of the factors of price increases in early June.
