London Wheat Report

Source: FutureSource
WASDE day. 2021/22 US wheat supply and demand is for lower supplies and unchanged domestic use, reduced exports and higher ending stocks. Exports reduced by 10m bushels. Global outlook this month is for decreased trade and consumption, higher production and larger ending stocks. Global outlook is raised on the back of a cracking Aussie crop where ABARES estimate raised production 2.3Mmt to a record 36.3Mmt (Toyota Land Cruiser sales are going to be popping if they can get around the semiconductor shortage). World exports are lowered by 3.6Mmt to 203.1Mmt as decreases for Ukraine and Russia are only partly offset by increases for Australia and India. Exports lowered for Ukraine by 4Mmt to 20Mmt as the conflict continues. Russian exports are reduced 3Mmt to 32Mmt as vessel transportation is expected to be constrained by the conflict and the associated economic sanctions. Partly offsetting these reductions are increases to the Aussie and Indian exports. Increased production and competitive prices are expected to boost Aussie exports to a record level. 2021/22 global use forecast is lowered to 0.8Mmt to 787.3Mmt. Global ending stocks are raised 3.3Mmt to 281.5Mmt.
Russia are due to announce which commodities they will be placing under an ‘export ban’ in retaliation for Western sanctions – wheat is rumoured to be one of them although this has not yet been confirmed. Putin agreed to open the Azov for 30 vessels to outload with wheat and sun oil to be shipped to Turkey. Expect more of these deals to ‘friendlier with Russia’ nations. Bulgaria announced that it will be buying $617m of wheat to boost state reserves. Algeria has also believed to not have purchased any grain in its tender from yesterday. Matif wheat settled May-22 settled up €2.25 at €372.25/t.
2021/22 US corn supply and use outlook is for increased
food, seed and industrial use, larger exports and smaller stocks relative to
last month. Global corn production forecast is for larger production, lower
trade and greater ending stocks relative to last month. Increased production is
raised for India ad Russia that are partly offset by declines for Argentina and
South Africa. Corn exports are raised for US and India but reduced for Ukraine.
Tighter oilseed supplies and high oilseed meal and vegetable
oil prices reduce forecasts for global demand growth. Global 2021/22 soybean
trade is educed 6.4Mmt to 158.6Mmt with lower exports for South America that
are partly offset by higher US exports. Global soybean stocks are lowered
2.9Mmt to 90Mmt, lowest level since 2015/2016. Matif May-22 rapeseed settled up
€8.25 at €891/t.
