WHEAT
The USDA report released on Friday 11th September (US time) had some bearish news for wheat with both global ending stocks and global wheat production up by 5 million metric tonnes (mt). Canada, Argentina and India all had decreased wheat supplies however this was not enough to counter supply increases from Europe, Russia and the Black Sea.
Global wheat consumption was the shining light, up by 1.6 million mt due in part to increased feed use from Russia, the EU and the Philippines.
BARLEY/CORN
A bullish outlook for corn unfolded on the back of a global production cut of 7 million mt and ending stocks down 5.4 million mt.
US Corn yields down by 20% compared to last year.
Chinese corn production down by 3 million mt to 229 million mt.
