Wheat futures post weekly gains of 39 1/4 to 56 cents across Chicago, KC and MIAX contracts
AI Market Summary
Wheat futures strengthened across CBOT, KCBT, and spring wheat, driven by escalating Black Sea disruptions that threaten export flows and tighten near-term supply assumptions. USDA export sales are running ahead of the five-year pace, reinforcing demand signals. Positioning also turned supportive as managed money reduced CBOT net shorts and added to KC net longs. French crop conditions were steady, but largely outweighed by geopolitical supply risk.
