Is CBOT #wheat finally starting to move?
Saudi Arabia bought 0.6+ mmt last weekend. More importantly, Black Sea exports remain heavily restricted.
In our view, things escalated substantially last week.
Algeria just paid ~$30/mt more for #wheat than in its previous tender.
OAIC bought around 500–510K mt at an estimated $319–321/mt C&F for November shipment.
In its previous tender on August 5, Algeria bought up to 720K mt at around $289–290/mt C&F.
Pakistan next?
#Wheat bounced right off the 730 area yesterday — the July high and 20-day moving average — and has already made a higher high today.
Dead-cat bounce or something bigger?
