According to the USDA FAS report, Australia could see good harvests of winter crops, including wheat and barley, in the 2025/26 MY.   In New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia, weather conditions are conducive to the formation of wheat and barley crops, while in South Australia and western Victoria, dry weather is increasing soil moisture deficits, so it is desirable that rains pass in these regions by the end of June.   FAS experts predict that wheat and barley...

Oil prices have responded to the "achievements" of Trump's 100 days in office in shaking up the US and global economy with another drop.
