  • Wheat Futures Rally on Thursday Despite Lower Export Sales
    February 6, 2026, 3:05 AM EST. Wheat futures across Chicago SRW, Kansas City HRW, and Minneapolis markets closed higher Thursday, with gains between 4 and 9 cents. Export sales data showed 373,877 metric tons sold in the week ending January 29, down 33% from the prior week and nearly 15% below last year. The Philippines led purchases, followed by Taiwan and Mexico. Despite the rally, large global supplies remain a weight on prices, with Russia's 2025 wheat crop reported at 93 million metric tons, including occupied Ukrainian territories. March and May contracts for CBOT, KCBT, and MIAX wheat all posted modest gains. The market reflects ongoing tension between demand signals and abundant supply.
