ADMISI London Wheat Report for 22 March

London Wheat Report

Source: FutureSource 

WOW!! WHAT A DAY ON THE GLOBAL WHEAT MARKETS they took an absolute hammering today to continue the down trend of late. Bullish news that Ukraine’s 2023 harvest is set to fall 10M Tonnes from the 2022 numbers couldn’t stop the markets free falling. Chicago was trading in double digit downs most of the day and the European markets were well down all day. Matif Wheat opened down 2 Euros across the board and then continued on the slide. Matif May23 was trading down 6/7 Eur most of the day. Volumes were strong 100K+ lots traded across the entire curve.

As of 14/03/23, the US funds are running a 98K lot short position. Just when will the funds start squaring up their short position in the US? At some point, the buying will begin but how much further will prices decrease before this is the case is everyone’s guess.
