Wheat fell overnight after spending the majority of the night session in the green. A mix of harvest pressure and the confirmation that Russia will lift the export ban for new crop drove the selling, pushing Chicago to fresh lows. The US wheat harvest is pushing into Kansas and quality reports suggest overall quality to be questionable at best. The reality is the futures market contracts in Chicago and Kansas can take downgraded quality at a discount which may be too onerous compared with the cash markets, but they can still receive deliveries of lower-quality wheat. The result can be a lower quality year that becomes bearish futures while the cash market fights it out for the better quality. Given the size of the break in the US, this wheat is now pricing itself into some export paths, which is desperately needed to help deal with a big carry-out.
