The wheat market experienced a rise on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, following a government report that indicated the U.S. winter wheat crop was in worse condition than expected due to dry conditions in the Great Plains. As a result, wheat futures in the U.S. and Europe saw an increase. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that only 38% of the winter wheat crop is in good to excellent condition, a decrease from the previous year. In contrast, the European Commission reported a decrease in EU soft wheat exports. Additionally, the corn and soybean markets saw mixed results, with the corn market experiencing a slight increase due to the rapid pace of harvest, while the soybean market continued to decline due to improved weather and planting progress in South America.
