ASX:SYR 20 January 2026

July 1, 2026, 8:52 PM EDT. Wheat futures rose on Wednesday across Chicago, Kansas City, and Minneapolis, adding 4¾ to 13½ cents. The market looked ahead to the USDA's weekly Export Sales report due Thursday, with traders expecting 300,000 to 600,000 metric tons for 2026/27. The USDA's Acreage report put wheat plantings at 42.74 million acres, under forecasts, mostly on a drop in winter wheat. June 1 stocks were 920 million bushels, above last year but under analyst estimates. The numbers gave wheat an extra boost before the export data arrives.
