Wheat futures are trading higher this morning, up 4 to 6 cents in the DEC 2024 futures. Wheat is pulling back off its highs earlier this week that were reached as a result of increased tensions in the Ukraine - Russia conflict. The newly acquired ablility for Ukraine to launch missiles deep into Russia has stepped up the risk of the gloves truly coming off between the two nations. Whether this ramps up to the point that a grain export faclility gets truly destroyed or an attack on a population center with civilian casualties remains to be seen. For now, it feels like the grain complex has become more comfortable with the new status quo and it may take a real shocking development in order to move the needle further. From Russia's point of view, it would seem they are truly at war with the US and other Nato allies since without our support, Ukraine would not be able to continue this fight, and that is what is concerning to me.

 

There are no real weather concerns to push the markets right now. South America seems to be getting what it needs and Australia is finding good to better than expected harvest results so far. The US southern plains have been improving. There is some speculation that Russian and Ukrainian wheat farmers may be looking to shift production away from wheat and into more profitable crops such as peas, lentils, or sunflowers according to a Reuters article with winter wheat plantings declining by 10% to the lowest since 2019, according to Rusagrotrans, Russia's primary grain rail carrier. Some farmers say they have already decided to plant less spring wheat next year, while others are waiting to see how global wheat prices perform in the next few weeks before making  a final decision.

 

Cash Futures Prices: Chicago DEC is up 4 at 554. KC DEC is up 6 at 565 and MPLS DEC is up 6 at 592. US Dollar is trading 0.51 higher at 106.71.
