Though export demand has remained light for all U.S. wheat classes, HRS and HRW basis ended the week mixed, while the soft wheat classes decreased. HRS was up in the Gulf and flat in the PNW, supported by lagging rail performance. Likewise, HRW basis was up in the Gulf and flat in the PNW, also supported by low farmer engagement. The inverted market and the high cost of carry continue to influence HRW basis. Gulf SRW basis and PNW soft white wheat prices decreased, in line with competing origins, in search of demand.
