Chicago wheat futures dipped for the second consecutive day, consolidating below their recent 3-1/2-month peak. Earlier in the week, prices surged on concerns over supply risks from Russia, the world’s leading wheat producer, facing drought conditions. These conditions have prompted some Russian regions, such as Oryol, to declare states of emergency, adding weight to the global supply outlook.

Disclaimer:

While wheat and soybean contracts all recovered from four-year lows seen earlier this year, global supply chain disruptions, a weakened U.S. dollar, and shifts in monetary policy will likely keep these markets volatile. With traders growing cautious, the next few weeks may see further consolidation, especially as we await more clarity on weather patterns in South America and ongoing political disputes in Eastern Europe. Traders are advised to prioritize proper risk management to make well-informed trading decisions.
