Information You Need
Throughout the year, wheat producers, buyers, and users can monitor critical information about the U.S. wheat crop and market conditions.

Every Friday afternoon (ET), U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) publishes a Price Report, compiled through information from numerous market sources, including U.S. wheat exporters of all classes from various U.S. ports (the prices reported are not intended to represent offers nor should importers of U.S. wheat rely upon them as such). The Price Report includes FOB and futures prices, and ocean freight and currency exchange rates. An interactive Charting Feature, allowing the user to track and compare prices and basis over time, is also provided.

USW also compiles and posts a Commercial Sales report every Thursday afternoon (ET) using USDA data. The Commercial Sales report tracks year-to-date and historic export sales for all six U.S. wheat classes.

Every month, within a few days after USDA releases its World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report, USW updates and posts a Supply and Demand analysis of the global wheat market.

USW provides weekly Harvest Reports on Fridays beginning when the U.S. wheat hard red winter and soft red winter harvest starts in late-May or June. There are reports for each class, including comments on crop conditions, harvest progress, and crop quality information as the data are compiled.

After the U.S. harvest is complete, USW publishes a detailed Crop Quality Report including data for all classes of U.S. wheat. The report provides information that can be very helpful to importers to specify their needs and get the best value in their purchase contracts. USW representatives share this data with buyers in person and at annual USW Crop Quality Seminars.

USW also publishes Wheat Letter every other Thursday, and an Annual Report to U.S. wheat producers. Click here to subscribe to Wheat Letter.

Latest Price Report

February 26, 2010

Futures prices were up this week, highlighted by a 16-cent gain in the CBOT March contract on Friday. The rally was sparked by a weakening dollar, which fell sharply on Friday after posting gains earlier in the week. CBOT nearbys closed at $5.07/bu, up 16 cents from last week and its highest close since January 18. KCBT nearbys were up 12 cents, to $5.11/bu, and MGEX nearbys were up 8 cents, to $5.16/bu.
