The wheat complex is pulling back at midday despite early strength. Chicago contracts hit a 10-month high in the front month continuation chart overnight, but are now down 1 to 2 cents. Kansas City futures are still being held up with drier crop prospects over the next week, up fractionally to 2 cents. MPLS spring wheat are trading with 1 to 2 cent losses.
All wheat export sales for the 23/24 MY are expected to be between net reductions of 100,000 MT to net sales of 100,000 MT in the week of 5/16 as we get set to round out the MY. Sales for the 24/25 crop are seen ranging from 200,000-650,000 MT.
The 7-day outlook from NOAA shows much of the Southern Plains expected to remain dry for the next week, with a good part of the SRW country receiving 1-3 inches.
