September wheat, the most-active contract on Paris-based Euronext, was down 0.6percent at €201.50 (USD234.30) a metric ton as of 1605 GMT, falling for a seventh consecutive session.

The contract earlier reached its lowest since February 24 at €200.25, but held above the psychological €200 floor.

“Improved rainfall forecasts across the US Midwest, Europe and parts of the UK have boosted confidence in 2026 crop potential, reducing the weather premium that had supported prices earlier in the season,” British merchant ADM Agriculture said in a note. “While tenders from destinations such as Jordan have emerged, they have not been enough to absorb increasing harvest supplies.”

The price of Russian wheat with 12.5percent protein content for free-on-board delivery in June to early July was USD245 a metric ton at the end of last week, the same as the week before, said Dmitry Rylko, head of the IKAR consultancy.

The price of new-crop wheat which is due to hit the market in July remained at USD242 per ton, he said.

IKAR estimates Russia’s May wheat exports at between 3.3 million tons and 3.4 million tons. Wheat exports in June are expected to be no higher than 2.5 million tons.

Sovecon consultancy put prices last week for Russian wheat with 12.5percent protein at between USD243 and USD245 a ton compared to between USD242 and USD244 the week before. In the first half of last week, Russian FOB hit USD246-247 a ton, a season high, before easing by the weekend, analysts noted.

“Global FOB values were generally lower… pressured by collapsing futures and lukewarm importer demand. Russian FOB was an important exception. Prices rose again on limited domestic supply and the elevated ruble exchange rate”, head of Sovecon Andrey Sizov noted. Sovecon last week revised its estimate for May wheat exports upwards by 0.2 million tons compared with the previous week week, to 3.0 million tons.

Last week, the agency raised its estimate for the 2026 wheat harvest to 90.3 million tons. Today, it announced a downward revision to its export forecast by 0.6 million tons for the current season, citing slowing demand from importers.

The Russian Ministry of Agriculture expects wheat exports from Russia this season to reach around 50 million tons and anticipates a “decent harvest” in 2026, based primarily on the condition of winter crops, Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut said at the end of last week.

The rail operator Rusagrotrans estimated May wheat exports at 3.0 million tons. Some 2.5 million tons were shipped between May 1 and May 25.

September wheat on Euronext settled 0.5percent down at €206.50 (USD239.99) a metric ton, falling for a fourth session. The contract earlier reached its lowest since May 8 at €206.25.

After tracking weakness in crude oil last week, Euronext remained under pressure from supply prospects. “The heatwave scared people a bit. But temperatures have fallen by 10 degrees, some rain is coming and there is wheat available all over the world,” a futures trader said.

“People are waiting too for the USDA’s first corn crop rating later today, which looks like not being bad at all,” he added, referring to a US Department of Agriculture crop conditions estimate.

After drought damage to US winter wheat fuelled price gains in recent weeks, the run-up to Northern Hemisphere harvesting and good harvest prospects in top exporter Russia have curbed the market.

“Overall, the crop weather in the west EU’s main rival, the Black Sea region, is looking positive,” one German trader said. “With June starting and the Black Sea harvest only a few weeks away, it looks like the west EU will in coming months see intense Black Sea competition in export markets, especially from Russia, Ukraine and Romania.”

Traders monitored weather conditions as farmers were finishing up springtime plantings of both crops. The US Department of Agriculture is slated to issue an update on plantings and the emergence of the crops in a weekly progress report due after trading ends. “We have had recent rains that are positive here for the last couple of weeks,” said Rich Nelson, chief strategist for commodity firm Allendale. Nelson added that he would watch to see whether dryness develops by the end of the week.

Benchmark September milling wheat on Paris-based Euronext, closed 0.5percent lower at €215.75 a metric ton, having moved between €213.75 and €217.25 during the session. The International Grains Council (IGC) kept its global 2026/27 grains output forecast unchanged on Thursday at 2.414 billion metric tons, down 3percent from a year earlier and the first decline in four seasons.

Unconfirmed market talk was of west European wheat sales, possibly including French, German and Polish, to unusual destinations including Mexico, supporting prices.

The most-active corn contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) dropped 0.4percent to USD4.63-3/4 a bushel by 0309 GMT. Soybeans fell 0.2percent to USD11.97 a bushel, while wheat lost 0.8percent to USD6.55 a bushel.

Rains have boosted soil moisture in the Midwest, favouring early germination of crops, forecaster Vaisala said. Next week, warmer-than-normal temperatures in the northern Midwest should accelerate early growth, the firm said.

Globally, climate risks to grain production are elevated as an El Nino event is increasingly likely to emerge from mid-2026, according to Fitch Group’s BMI Consultancy. “We expect wheat production to be amongst the more exposed grain markets under the projected El Nino event, with risks heightened by crop-calendar overlap across India, Pakistan, Australia, Mainland China and Argentina,” the consultancy said in a note.

Traders also monitored potential for rain in the drought-hit US Plains for wheat production, though months of dryness have already left wheat fields with wide cracks and stunted crops. Global corn production will have limited exposure in an El Nino event and increasing rainfalls could support soybean production in South America, BMI Consultancy said.

In China, soybean imports from the US in April more than doubled from a year earlier, as cargoes booked after Beijing resumed purchases late last year gradually arrived at Chinese ports. China is the world’s largest soybean buyer.

Tender deadline set for June 3, shipment sought in August consignments. A new announcement had been expected by traders after Jordan made no purchase in its previous tender for 120,000 tons of barley on Wednesday.

The intergovernmental body, in a monthly update, also kept its 2026/27 consumption forecast unchanged at 2.437 billion tons, though the figure is above expected production levels and means global stocks are set to tighten 4percent by season-end.

At 615 million tons, however, global stocks would remain within the five-year average, the IGC said.

The IGC sees grains production falling next year due to a smaller harvested area and poorer average yields. Global yield prospects have dimmed in recent months partly because the US-Israel war against Iran has severely disrupted fertiliser trade, driving up prices and lowering crop application rates across the world.

The grains body lowered its 2026/27 world wheat production forecast by 1 million tons to 820 million, while keeping its corn (maize) production forecast unchanged at 1.3 billion.

The most-active soybean contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) gained 1.6percent to USD11.95-1/2 a bushel by 0317 GMT. Wheat climbed 2.6percent to USD6.52-1/2 a bushel, while corn rose 2.4percent to USD4.66-1/2 a bushel.

China made the commitment during meetings between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping last week, the White House said in a fact sheet released on Sunday.

The USD17 billion purchase will not include the soybean buying commitments China made in October 2025, the White House said. Markets were not anticipating that Beijing would raise the soybean target beyond 25 million metric tons.

“The White House announcement signals potential increases of Chinese buying of US corn, wheat and sorghum besides meat products,” said a Beijing-based analyst, who asked not to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter.

China’s farm imports from the US still face an additional 10percent levy after last year’s rounds of tit-for-tat tariffs sharply curtailed trade, which fell 65.7percent year-on-year to USD8.4 billion in 2025, according to US Department of Agriculture data.

The Chinese commerce ministry said on Saturday that both sides aim to promote two-way trade, including in agricultural products, through measures such as reciprocal tariff reductions across a range of goods. It did not specify which products.

China resumed purchases of some US farm goods after an October meeting, fulfilling a US-stated commitment to buy 12 million tons of soybeans by the end of February. It has also purchased some US wheat cargoes and large volumes of sorghum.

September milling wheat on the Paris-based Euronext exchange rose 1percent to 212 euros (USD247) a metric ton at 1404 GMT, recovering from sharp losses seen on Friday.

Chicago wheat rose 3.6percent on Monday after the White House said China had committed to buying at least USD17 billion of US agricultural products in the next three years.

“Euronext wheat erased Friday’s losses, supported by a surge in US wheat futures, especially Chicago wheat, after fresh details from US and Chinese leaders suggested funds may have been too quick to sell grains off last week,” said Donatas Jankauskas, analyst at CM Navigator.

“A reported USD17 billion additional Chinese agricultural commitment could extend beyond soybeans to other grains such as wheat and corn, helping restore some risk premium across the complex.”

However, Euronext is not following US futures one-for-one, Jankauskas said. “If Chinese purchases from the US materialise, they would not necessarily create new global demand, but rather shift demand away from other suppliers.”

The weather remains mostly favourable in the EU, with French wheat ratings well above average and the Baltics now receiving much-needed rains as well, he added.

Meanwhile, high US domestic wheat prices were generating sales of Polish wheat to US buyers, traders said. This follows previous US purchases of Polish wheat from the 2026 new crop reported in April. The latest purchases were estimated at between 120,000 and 200,000 metric tons. One trader estimated as much as 350,000 tons.

“This is welcome new export business for the EU, and if US domestic prices remain high, we could see more sales,” a German trader said.

The price of Russian wheat with 12.5percent protein content for free-on-board delivery in June - early July was USD240 a metric ton at the end of last week, up USD1.0 from the previous week, said Dmitry Rylko, head of the IKAR consultancy.

The price of new-crop wheat which is due to hit the market in July is also USD240 per ton, he noted. IKAR has revised its estimate for May wheat exports upwards to more than 3 million tons from 2.5–2.8 million tons a week earlier.

Sovecon consultancy expects prices for Russian wheat with 12.5percent protein content at between USD240 and USD242 a ton compared to between USD238 and USD241 last week.

“FOB prices moved higher, though demand still looks weak. A strong rouble and elevated domestic prices continue to underpin Russian FOB values,” the head of Sovecon, Andrey Sizov, said.

“We do not see a catalyst for FOB prices to move materially higher for now, importers are likely to remain cautious.”

Sovecon has revised its estimate for May wheat exports downwards by 0.3 million tons compared with last week, to 2.7 million tons.

September milling wheat on Euronext was down 1.9percent at 209.50 euros (USD243.52) a metric ton by 1549 GMT, falling for a third session as it moved back from Wednesday’s two-week peak of 218.00 euros.

During a highly anticipated visit by US President Donald Trump to China, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said on Friday that Washington expects “double-digit billions” in Chinese purchases of US agricultural products over the next three years.

But a lack of details disappointed market participants who said it was unclear if any agricultural trade would go beyond a previous commitment by Beijing to buy 25 million metric tons of US soybeans annually.

“It remains to be seen, but the market does not trust such headlines,” a futures trader said, adding, “The market deserved some downside after being maxed out long.”

News from the summit triggered liquidation by investment funds that had built up large long positions in grains during the Iran war. The wheat market was also retreating after a jump on Tuesday when the US Department of Agriculture surprised traders by forecasting the smallest US wheat crop since 1972.

In Europe, recent rains have brought relief to grain crops in some regions after a very dry start to spring. Consultancy Expana on Thursday raised its forecast for the European Union’s soft wheat and barley crops.

In France, ratings of cereal crops steadied last week to halt a recent decline, data showed on Friday. Rainfall had also increased water levels on the river Rhine in Germany, enabling cargo vessels to sail with normal loads.

Export demand remained thin, with buyers often delaying purchasing in the hope that a US-Iran peace deal would push prices down. Some buyers were present but focused on Black Sea origins, traders said. An Italian buyer was seeking about 10,000 tons of Black Sea 11.5percent wheat at around USD260 a ton cost and freight included (c&f) for June shipment.

In Asia, an Indonesian buyer was seeking about 50,000 tons of Black Sea 11.5percent wheat for August/September shipment at around USD278 a ton c&f and a Vietnamese buyer was seeking about 60,000 tons of 10.5 percent wheat for July/August shipment at around USD260 a ton c&f.

The deadline for submission of price offers in the tender is May 20. A new announcement had been expected by traders after Jordan made no purchase for its previous tender for 120,000 tons of barley on Wednesday.

Shipment in the new barley tender is sought in a series of possible combinations in consignments of 50,000 to 60,000 tons between August 1-15 and August 16-31. These are the same shipment periods as sought in Wednesday’s tender. Jordan has also issued a separate tender to buy 120,000 tons of milling wheat, closing on May 19.

For winter barley, 76percent of the crop was in good or excellent condition by Monday, also stable from a week earlier and up from 68percent a year earlier. The corresponding spring barley score edged up to 86percent from 85percent, surpassing a year-earlier 81percent. For grain maize, farmers had sown 95percent of the expected area, against 86percent a week earlier and 88percent a year ago. In its first maize ratings, FranceAgriMer

estimated that 90percent of the crop was in good/excellent condition, slightly above a year-earlier 88percent.

Much of France has experienced wet, chilly weather this week. Forecasts predict a warm, sunny spell will arrive next week. FranceAgriMer’s crop data, usually published at around 9 a.m. (0700 GMT) on Fridays, was delayed due to a public holiday on Thursday.

India’s 5percent broken parboiled variety was quoted this week at USD333-USD340 per ton, unchanged from last week. Indian 5percent broken white rice was priced at USD335 to USD340 per ton this week. Indian prices are the lowest among key rice exporting countries but still export demand is not picking up, said a New Delhi-based trader.

The rupee fell to an all-time low, pressured by stubbornly high oil prices and persistent portfolio outflows that have strained the current and capital balances of Asia’s third-largest economy. Vietnam’s 5percent broken rice was offered at USD395-USD400 per metric ton on Thursday, unchanged from a week ago.

“Domestic supplies are getting thinner, but we are concerned about the Philippines’ move to impose a ceiling price on imported rice,” a trader based in Ho Chi Minh City said.

“The Philippines remains Vietnam’s key rice buyer and any move it makes will have an impact,” the trader added.

Meanwhile, Thailand’s 5percent broken rice was quoted at USD415 per ton on Thursday, rising from USD404-USD405 quoted last week. Traders said the price increase was driven mainly by millers holding back sales amid firmer domestic sentiment.

Demand remains relatively quiet, with no major deals reported, although regular customers from Hong Kong and African markets continued to place small orders, a Bangkok-based trader added. Supply conditions in Thailand were largely unchanged, as the new crop is currently being planted during this period and the market is waiting to see the size of the upcoming harvest in the coming months.

In its latest cereals report, the commodity data firm projected 2026 soft wheat production at 128.8 million metric tons, up 0.1 million tons from its previous report but still 6percent below the 2025 crop. “As the ear cereal harvests approach in Europe, yield outlooks remain satisfactory, although still below the exceptional levels of 2025,” Expana said.

Very good harvests are expected in Romania, Bulgaria and, to a lesser degree, Spain, it said. Meanwhile, the return of rainfall in France and Germany allayed fears of drought stress.

In a cereal supply and demand outlook, FranceAgriMer increased its forecast for soft wheat exports outside the European Union in 2025/26 to 7.25 million metric tons from 7.10 million projected last month. The new projection was 107percent above last season’s level, which was the lowest this century following a poor harvest.

French soft wheat shipments within the EU in 2025/26 were nudged up to 7.75 million tons, against 7.70 million previously. Projected soft wheat stocks at the end of 2025/26 on June 30 were trimmed to 3.28 million tons from 3.31 million, with reduced estimates for domestic uses including milling and animal feed mostly offsetting the increased export demand.

For barley, forecast exports outside the EU were raised to 3.8 million tons from 3.7 million, with estimated intra-EU shipments stable at 2.53 million tons. Projected 2025/26 barley stocks were pegged at 1.46 million tons, like last month, with additional exports offset by an upward supply revision.

Maize exports within the EU were increased to 5 million tons from 4.84 million, with non-EU shipments nudged up to 0.49 million from 0.48 million.

Maize stocks were forecast at 2.37 million tons against 2.36 million last month, with increased supply and reduced domestic demand outweighing the export rise.

Corn and soybeans rose. The most-active wheat contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) fell 0.6percent to USD6.27-1/4 a bushel by 0230GMT, corn added 0.3percent to USD4.81-1/2 a bushel, and soybeans gained 0.1percent at USD12.28-1/2 a bushel.

Wheat rallied to its daily trading limits on Tuesday. The contract set a new high since October 2024. Drought in parts of the US Great Plains has been threatening wheat output in the key production region. Farmers will produce 1.561 billion bushels of wheat, the lowest since 1972, as the severe drought in the US Plains was likely to slash the hard red winter wheat crop by 25percent from a year earlier, the USDA said Tuesday.

Growers in the drought-hit Plains will harvest the smallest crop since 1957, the government said. Traders have been closely monitoring US President Donald Trump’s high-stakes summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping this week.

The two countries may reach a farm deal that expands Beijing’s purchases of grains and meat, but market watchers said major new soybean purchases beyond those agreed last October are unlikely. War-related risk premiums and uncertainty over Chinese demand will be key forces shaping grain markets in the months ahead, US consultancy AgResource said on Tuesday.

The agency forecasted a record soybean crop but lower wheat and corn output this season. In the Black Sea grain belt, Ukraine expecsts a 60.4 million metric ton crop this year, near last year’s level despite war and a cold, wet spring, the country’s government said Tuesday.

Corn and soybean futures also inched higher. The most-traded wheat contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) was up 1.3percent at USD6.42 a bushel at 0117 GMT, with CBOT corn climbing 0.1percent to USD4.75-1/2 a bushel and soybeans up 0.1percent at USD12.14-3/4. All three contracts have been pushing higher this year, albeit from a relatively low base following a period of plentiful supply. Supporting prices have been a drought in the US wheat belt, strong biofuel demand, and the war in Iran, which has pushed oil and fertiliser prices sharply higher by reducing supply through the Strait of Hormuz. “In the long term, it’s bullish,” said Rabobank analyst Vitor Pistoia of wheat prices.

“We are not going to see any resolution in Hormuz for a while. Supply issues will last for longer, and potentially into the Northern Hemisphere winter seeding period,” he said. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) on Monday rated 28percent of the US winter wheat crop in good-to-excellent condition, down from 31percent a week earlier and the lowest for this time of year since 2022. Analysts had expected 32percent to be rated “good to excellent”.

Approximately 70percent of the US winter wheat crop is in an area experiencing drought, the government said last week, compared to 22percent a year ago. Planting of US spring crops was, however, running ahead of analysts’ expectations, the USDA said. Oil prices rose for a third consecutive session, with Brent crude around USD105 a barrel after US President Donald Trump said the ceasefire with Iran was “on life support”.

Traders anticipate a busy week. On Tuesday, the USDA will release potentially market-moving global agricultural supply and demand estimates, and a visit by Trump to China between May 14 and 15 could result in Chinese commitments to buy more US farm goods, according to some analysts.
