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 to improve risk management, 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.

WASDE
The Harvest

January 12, 2012

The first World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) for 2012 reflected steady overseas demand for U.S. wheat and an optimistic group of U.S. winter wheat growers. Projected exports are raised 25 million bushels based on the pace of sales and shipments to traditional markets. Increases for Hard Red Winter, White, and Soft Red Winter wheat more than offset a reduction for Hard Red Spring wheat. Ending stocks are projected 8 million bushels lower at 870 million. Global ending stocks for 2011/12 are projected 1.5 million tons higher at 210.0 million.

PRICE REPORT

January 27, 2012

U.S. futures markets closed higher this week on the possibility of increased wheat export business based on rumors that Russia may limit exports or impose export tariffs. Basis prices were 5 to 10 cents firmer thanks to stronger demand. A weaker U.S. dollar also supported wheat prices this week. CBOT led the way, gaining 37 cents to close at $6.47/bu. KCBT gained 33 cents to close at $7.00/bu and MGEX closed at $8.26/bu, a 28 cent gain for the week. The CBOT nearby corn contract gained 30 cents to $6.42/bu and CBOT soybeans closed at $12.19/bu, a 32 cent gain.
