Wheat...West coast cash wheat prices came under pressure from weakness
across the futures complex in early week trade, but white wheat saw spot
basis levels firm up a bit against declines in Chicago. Bid structures at
the export level showed all three wheat classes mostly flat at least into
the new calendar year.
Shipments...Weekly export inspections showed a marked improvement for
U.S. wheat movement last week, coming in at 12.7 mbus to put year-to-date
shipments at 371 mbus and 35% ahead of a year ago. Hard red spring wheat
was the top shipper with 4.3 mbus, followed by soft white with 3 mbus and
both classes benefitting from South Korean deliveries. A total 0f 8.8 mbus
of wheat moved off the west coast, along with nearly 32 mbus of soybeans
destined for China.
Crop Progress...The 3-state Pacific Northwest winter wheat condition saw
a modest week-to-week improvement, as recent moisture boosted ratings for
Washington and Oregon, while Idaho was mostly unchanged. Good to excellent
ratings for Oregon climbed 4 points to 67%, Washington was also up 4 points
to 54%, while Idaho slipped a point to 42%.
