Export inspections for the week ending March 2 showed 343,022 metric tons (12.6 million bushels) shipped, dropping 31.2% from the previous week and 30.81% below last year, led by shipments to Mexico, the Philippines, and Bangladesh. Despite this, marketing year shipments are up 18.67% year-over-year. Managed money reduced short positions in Chicago wheat while increasing net longs in Kansas City and Minneapolis futures, signaling mixed market sentiment. Meanwhile, crude oil prices fell $3.19, likely influencing wheat's downward pressure.
