According to reports, there are various factors contributing to higher prices for wheat such as decreased global production forecasts in countries like Argentina and Australia, while factors leading to lower prices include increased production forecasts in the European Union and Canada. The Russian wheat market is also experiencing higher prices due to increased export forecasts, but lower prices are expected due to issues with shipments and sagging demand. As for barley, there is a surplus of supply relative to demand and current shipping capabilities, leading to lower prices, especially in deep-water ports. The corn market is also experiencing factors that contribute to both higher and lower prices, such as decreased crop conditions in the US and forecasts from the USDA.
