    This is your Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Welcome back to the Daily Wheat Price Tracker, your go-to podcast for wheat prices, trends, and insights from the global grain markets. I am Vanessa Clark. Whether you are a farmer, trader, baker, or just love staying in the loop on food production, I have got you covered with the latest news and what you need to know heading into tomorrow.

    It is Tuesday, November fourth, and wheat has been on the move. Let us get right to the numbers everyone is looking for. On the Chicago Board of Trade, December wheat futures settled at five dollars forty-three and a half cents per bushel, which marked an increase of nine and a half cents on Monday. In metric terms, that is about one hundred ninety-nine dollars and seventy cents per ton. If you are watching the European market, December wheat in Paris closed at one hundred ninety-three euros seventy-five cents per ton, also ticking higher.

    What is moving the market? For one, China is back in the news after sounding out US wheat for December through February loadings. This is big because China’s return to the buying desk is a fresh demand signal after a year of sitting out, and it is sparking hopes of further normalization in ag trade between the US and China. The White House recently announced a pause on new retaliatory tariffs and signaled that China will increase its US soybean purchases, and traders are watching closely to see if similar tariff changes could soon unlock more wheat movement as well.

    Russia continues to flex its muscles as an export powerhouse, with exports for October estimated at more than five million tons. Their prices for twelve and a half percent protein wheat remain steady, holding near two hundred thirty dollars to two hundred thirty-three dollars per ton for early December delivery. Analysts are expecting brisk loading this month as weather is still cooperating. But, competition is set to heat up, with both Argentina and Australia harvesting bumper crops, which could put some downward pressure on prices later in the season.

    From a weather standpoint, North America has been unseasonably warm with limited precipitation, which is great for fieldwork and efficiently wrapping up harvest. Meanwhile, Europe is staying warm but drier than usual, and South America is seeing mixed conditions. Brazil in particular has dried out a bit after previous concerns about wet weather, and progress is being made fast with their wheat harvest.

    Export inspections out of the US are a bright spot, with weekly wheat shipments at three hundred fifty thousand metric tons for the week ending October thirtieth. That is a jump of thirty percent from the week before and sixty percent higher than a year ago, so global buyers are definitely active. Open interest in wheat futures has dropped a bit, which could signal some profit-taking now that prices have perked up, but traders remain alert for any upcoming announcements regarding international tenders or shifts in government tariffs.

    If you are planning your sales, it is worth paying attention to these market movers. Seasonal weather could still shake things up, especially as winter approaches in the Black Sea region. Watch also for updates from the USDA on November fourteenth, which could reset yield expectations and supply outlooks for the new crop year.

    Before I go, here is a practical takeaway: if you are making decisions based on these wheat price trends, remember to monitor not just spot prices but also the global news cycle. Shifts in export policy, weather updates, and international tender activity can all cause sudden price swings. Stay connected, stay nimble, and consider working some flexibility into your marketing plan.

    That is a wrap for today’s episode of the Daily Wheat Price Tracker. I am Vanessa Clark. Thanks for joining me. If you found today’s update helpful, please subscribe, leave us a review, and tune in next time for more need-to-know news in the world of wheat. Take care and see you soon.

  • Wheat's Up, Doc? China Nibbles, Prices Pop on Truce Talks

    Wheat's Up, Doc? China Nibbles, Prices Pop on Truce Talks
    Nov 3 2025
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

    This is your Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Welcome to the Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. I am Vanessa and I am so glad you could join me today as we dive into the latest market news, price movements, and insights on the global wheat market. Whether you are a grower, trader, or just a fan of bread and pasta, you are in the right place for up-to-the-minute wheat price updates and analysis you can use.

    Let’s get right into it with today’s wheat price update for Monday, November third, twenty twenty-five. According to Brownfield Ag News, December Chicago wheat closed today at five dollars and forty-three and a half cents per bushel, climbing nine and a half cents from the previous close. That brings wheat up about two percent on the day, with similar gains seen in Kansas City and Minneapolis contracts as well. Over in Europe, Paris milling wheat also notched a one and a half percent increase. UK feed wheat futures rose two percent, finishing the week at one hundred sixty-three pounds and thirty pence per ton. These moves tell us there is steady strength in both U.S. and overseas wheat markets.

    So why the rally? The big buzz today is about China possibly buying U.S. wheat for the first time in over a year. According to Morningstar and Bloomberg, there have been inquiries from Chinese grain importers for U.S. wheat cargoes set to load from December to February. While no official sales have been confirmed yet, the sentiment alone has lit a fire under futures prices. China recently resumed soybean purchases and is also suspending additional tariffs on American ag products following the recent trade truce. This renewed interest from such a large wheat importer could support U.S. prices in the weeks ahead.

    On the global side, the European Commission just raised its wheat production forecast for the season, though ending stocks are holding steady. Russia remains the world’s top wheat exporter, and both Russian and Ukrainian harvests are finishing under favorable weather conditions. Sovecon, a respected Russian consultancy, estimates that Russian wheat exports will stay strong into November, with weather still mostly cooperating for Black Sea shipments so far.

    Closer to home, U.S. wheat inspections and exports are running nearly twenty percent ahead of last year, according to the latest USDA numbers. Mexico is leading the way as a top buyer, and overall global demand for wheat and other grains has ticked higher, likely thanks to more buyer-friendly prices.

    Looking at the week ahead, weather remains a key wildcard. Most U.S. wheat-producing regions are expected to see drier conditions, which could help with the winter wheat planting pace but might start to stress fields if it persists. Overseas, France and Poland are nearly caught up on winter sowing, while excessive rain has delayed work in parts of Eastern Europe.

    What does all this mean for you? If you are a grower, today’s price strength is a welcome sign as we approach the end of the year. But the market remains sensitive to both weather and international trade moves, especially any confirmed wheat sales to China. For buyers, keep an eye on volatility and opportunities that fresh export news might create.

    That wraps up today’s Daily Wheat Price Tracker. Remember, knowledge is power in the markets, so be sure to subscribe and join me tomorrow for all the latest wheat prices and news you need to stay ahead. I am Vanessa Clark, wishing you a productive and prosperous day. Thanks for listening and see you next time!

  • Wheat Watch: October's Final Rally, Global Harvests, and Your Bottom Line

    Wheat Watch: October's Final Rally, Global Harvests, and Your Bottom Line
    Oct 31 2025
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

    This is your Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hello and welcome to the Daily Wheat Price Tracker. I am Vanessa Clark, here to get you up to speed on the latest wheat prices, what’s driving the market, and what you can expect in the days ahead. Whether you grow wheat, trade grain, or just want to keep an ear on the most essential food commodities, I am glad you are listening.

    Let us kick things off with today’s big number. As of this afternoon, wheat futures for December delivery on the Chicago Board of Trade closed at 5 dollars and 33 and one quarter cents per bushel. That is up about one point eight percent on the day. According to Dow Jones, this rally comes as traders squared up their books for the end of the month, with grains broadly rebounding late in the trading session. Even though the US dollar gained strength today—a factor that can often weigh on wheat prices by making US exports more expensive—the drive to close out trades before the weekend pushed wheat higher.

    Looking a little deeper, there has been some volatility over the last few sessions. Just yesterday, the December wheat contract had closed lower at 5 dollars and 24 and a quarter cents per bushel. The market remains sensitive to international developments and changing weather conditions across major growing regions.

    Speaking of weather, let us take a quick world tour. North America is looking at a calm ten-day forecast, which means good news for US farmers wrapping up fieldwork and preparing for winter wheat. France is also making progress, with nearly seventy percent of its soft wheat crop now in the ground, well ahead of last year’s pace. But, Western Europe is facing some delays as wetter weather slows down planting in a few areas.

    Looking at the global supply picture, the European Commission just increased its soft wheat production estimate for the coming year to just over one hundred thirty-three million tons. Meanwhile, Russia—still the world’s wheat export powerhouse—looks set to ship between five and five and a half million tons this October. That is slightly below last year, but officials in Russia have actively encouraged bigger exports after a slow start to the season.

    Over in Ukraine, the wheat harvest is mostly wrapped up. Farmers there have already brought in over forty million tons of grain this season, according to their economy ministry. The Black Sea remains a focus for global wheat flows, with shipping and logistics issues sometimes creating bottlenecks in exports.

    Meanwhile, wheat exports from Canada and the United States are turning heads. Since the current marketing year began in June, US wheat exports have hit their highest levels since twenty thirteen. Canada is also shipping briskly, helped by solid demand and, in some cases, less competition from the Black Sea region.

    So what does all this mean for you right now? If you are a grower, today’s rally is a good reminder of how quickly prices can shift as traders respond to both fundamentals and end-of-month positioning. If you buy wheat for feed or food processing, keep an eye on the export pace out of North America and the final tallies from Russia and Ukraine, because those numbers will influence major global price benchmarks.

    Looking forward, analysts are watching for any hint of changes in demand from key buyers like China and for any new weather threats in the Southern Hemisphere, where wheat is heading into its final stages before harvest.

    That wraps up our Daily Wheat Price Tracker for October thirty-first. I am Vanessa Clark, and I want to thank you for listening in on another fast-moving day in the wheat markets. Be sure to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts so you never miss an update. Have a terrific evening, and I will catch you next time for more wheat news you can use.

  • Wheat Watch: Global Glut Weighs Down Prices

    Wheat Watch: Global Glut Weighs Down Prices
    Oct 30 2025
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

    This is your Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Welcome back to Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark, where we break down everything you need to know about the fast-moving world of wheat markets. Whether you’re a grower, a trader, or just wheat-curious, I’m here to guide you through what’s moving commodity wheat prices right now, the latest wheat news, and what to look for next.

    It’s Thursday, October 30th, 2025, and there is plenty happening in the wheat markets. Let’s kick things off with today’s current wheat trading prices. At the Chicago Board of Trade, December wheat futures are down, with prices settling today at five dollars and twenty-four and three-quarter cents per bushel. Kansas City Hard Red Winter wheat is at five thirteen per bushel, and Minneapolis Spring Wheat for the December contract is trading around five fifty-six per bushel. So, across the major U.S. exchanges, we are seeing a softer tone compared to earlier in the week, with contracts generally trending four to ten cents lower.

    So, why the dip? The major driver continues to be the overwhelming global supply. Argus Media recently reported that the world’s top eight wheat exporters could harvest a record four hundred twenty-one million tonnes this season. With total global supply projected at an eye-watering four hundred eighty-four million tonnes for twenty twenty-five to twenty-six, that is a huge amount of wheat looking for a home. When supply is this plentiful, prices tend to come under pressure because buyers simply are not forced to chase the market higher.

    Adding even more weight, Russia is shipping out wheat at a rapid pace, with exports in October alone estimated at just over five million metric tons. Australia and Argentina are also looking at big crops, with Argentina likely to have its largest wheat output ever. That means the competitive pressure among exporters is high, especially as regions like North Africa and the Middle East are set to increase wheat imports but not enough to choke off this global glut.

    What about the United States? So far, U.S. wheat exports have been steady, helped by some strong buying from international markets, but the overall tone remains weak. According to traders, the export sales report this week was expected to show between three hundred fifty thousand and nine hundred thousand metric tons of wheat sold. Yet, with ongoing delays in official export reports due to a government shutdown, market participants are flying a bit blind, which adds to day-to-day volatility.

    Now, let’s zoom in on what this means for growers and buyers. If you are a wheat producer, it is more important than ever to focus on your cost of production and look for opportunities to lock in prices when brief rallies occur. For buyers, the current environment is creating some real opportunities to secure supply at relatively low prices, but keep an eye on potential risk factors like geopolitical tensions and labor strikes in key producing countries like Argentina, which could quickly change the outlook.

    Before we wrap up, a quick reminder to watch the weather in major growing regions. While today’s mood is bearish, a surprise weather event in the United States Plains, the Black Sea, or Australia can still ignite quick rallies if new crop fears pop up.

    That’s it for today’s episode of Daily Wheat Price Tracker. If you find this show helpful, please be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks so much for listening, and join me next time for more up-to-the-minute wheat prices, trends, and tips. This is Vanessa Clark, wishing you a smooth and profitable trading day.

  • Wheat Rally Faces Headwinds: China Trade Hopes vs Global Glut

    Wheat Rally Faces Headwinds: China Trade Hopes vs Global Glut
    Oct 29 2025
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

    This is your Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hey everyone, welcome back to Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. I'm your host Vanessa, and today is Wednesday, October 29th, 2025. Thanks so much for tuning in to our show where we break down what's happening in the wheat markets and what it means for you.

    So let's jump right into what's moving the wheat market today. Wheat futures are showing mixed trading right now, but there's a lot of positive momentum we're seeing this week. As of today, wheat is trading at around 530 dollars per bushel, up about a quarter percent from yesterday. Now that might not sound like much, but here's where it gets interesting. Over the past month, wheat prices have jumped about four and a half percent, which is a pretty solid rally.

    The big story driving wheat higher this week is trade optimism. There's renewed excitement around US China trade negotiations, and investors are really focused on a major meeting happening tomorrow between Presidents Trump and Xi Jinping. Last weekend, there was a preliminary deal framework discussed, and the US Treasury Secretary said China is expected to resume substantial purchases of US soybeans in the coming years. That kind of trade deal momentum is lifting the entire grain complex, including wheat.

    Now, here's the reality check. Despite these trade gains, wheat prices are still down about seven and a half percent compared to a year ago. That's because global supply is really ample right now. Russia, one of the world's top wheat exporters, has raised its 2025 production forecast to 87 point 8 million metric tons, citing record yields in Siberia. Argentina is also projected to produce 23 million tons of wheat, matching their record production from a few years back.

    On the export front, things are a bit softer. European Union soft wheat exports are actually down significantly. From July through October 26th, the EU has exported 6 point 2 million tons, compared to 7 point 9 million tons in the same period last year. That's a 21 percent decline year over year. Meanwhile, China is dealing with delayed wheat planting due to persistent autumn rains, but the government is launching a campaign to get farmers caught up.

    Looking ahead, traders are expecting wheat exports this week to reach somewhere between 350,000 and 600,000 metric tons. And according to market forecasts, wheat is expected to trade around 505 dollars per bushel by the end of this quarter.

    So here's the bottom line for anyone watching wheat. We're in a mixed market where trade optimism is battling global oversupply. The near term could see some volatility depending on how tomorrow's trade talks go, but the longer term picture still points to pressure from abundant global stocks.

    Thanks so much for listening to Daily Wheat Price Tracker. This is Vanessa Clark reminding you to subscribe so you don't miss our next episode where we'll break down where wheat goes from here. See you next time.

  • Wheat Watch: Global Grain Gains, Trade Talks, and Siberian Yields

    Wheat Watch: Global Grain Gains, Trade Talks, and Siberian Yields
    Oct 28 2025
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

    This is your Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hello everyone, I’m Vanessa Clark, and welcome to the Daily Wheat Price Tracker. Today, we’re going to dive into the latest news and updates on wheat prices. As of October 28, wheat prices have reached $5.30 per bushel, marking a significant increase with a daily gain of 0.81%. This rise is largely driven by renewed optimism over US-China trade negotiations, particularly with the upcoming meeting between Presidents Trump and Xi Jinping, which is expected to finalize a preliminary deal.

    Wheat futures have been rallying, reaching their highest level since mid-September. However, despite this rally, gains remain limited due to an ample global supply. Russia, one of the world’s top wheat exporters, has seen its production forecast for 2025 raised to 87.8 million metric tons, thanks to record yields in Siberia. Argentina is also projected to match its record wheat production from the 2021-22 season.

    US wheat exports have seen a decline, with a 47.6% decrease in the past week. This dip is partly due to the anticipated arrival of new crops from Australia and Argentina, which could further impact global wheat prices. In Ukraine, wheat prices have increased, supported by growing stock market quotes and better weather conditions for sowing winter wheat.

    As we look ahead, it’s important to note that wheat prices are expected to trade at around $505.74 by the end of this quarter. If you’re interested in staying updated on these developments, be sure to check our daily reports.

    Thanks for tuning in today. If you found this information helpful, please subscribe to our podcast and join us again soon for more insights into the world of wheat. Have a great day

  • Wheat Watch: Global Grain Gains, Local Pains

    Wheat Watch: Global Grain Gains, Local Pains
    Oct 27 2025
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

    This is your Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hello and welcome to your Daily Wheat Price Tracker. I’m Vanessa Clark, and I’m here to keep you up to speed on everything wheat—today’s prices, the global market pulse, and what these trends mean for you, whether you’re a farmer, a trader, or just someone interested in the food on your table.

    Let’s start with today’s wheat market action. As of October 27, 2025, wheat futures are sharply higher in early trade. Chicago wheat posted an overnight jump, trading about eleven to thirteen cents higher, which puts the December Chicago wheat contract in the range of around six dollars and thirty cents per bushel. European markets saw support too, with Paris milling wheat futures up slightly, and UK feed wheat for November delivery quoted near one hundred sixty-eight pounds per metric ton. Bread wheat prices in the UK are trending at around one hundred eighty-six pounds per ton for November delivery. These figures reflect ongoing volatility across global wheat markets.

    So, what’s driving this price action? The big story is global tightness. The world stocks-to-use ratio for wheat sits at a challenging thirty-one percent for twenty twenty-four and twenty-five, which means there’s not much cushion if something goes wrong with crops or exports. Russia remains central to this story. Despite recovering some yields after recent droughts and frost, Russia cut its wheat export quota for the start of twenty twenty-five, keeping global supplies tight. Meanwhile, the war in Ukraine continues to impact Black Sea exports, with Ukraine’s output still reduced by about twenty percent. Elsewhere, weather extremes have hammered production from Australia to Kansas and forced major importers like India and Turkey to restrict wheat trade. All these factors combine to push prices up and keep everyone guessing.

    Recent reports from the International Grains Council and the World Bank suggest the wheat crop outlook is improving slightly for Russia, the U.S., and Argentina. Global wheat production for twenty twenty-five and twenty-six is forecast higher, with stocks building modestly. The World Bank sees wheat prices around two hundred sixty-five dollars per ton for the next year, with a possible downward trend if supplies continue to recover. But with so many variables—weather, politics, shipping disruptions—uncertainty isn’t going away anytime soon.

    For listeners watching these trends, there are some key takeaways. If you’re a grower, keep a close eye on weather forecasts and planting advice. If you buy or resell wheat, diversifying suppliers and contracts could help manage the risk. Food manufacturers and traders are investing more in analytics and risk management tools to keep up. Everyone from producers to consumers should pay attention to monthly USDA supply and demand reports, major geopolitical developments, and any changes in trade policy—these could trigger further swings in wheat prices.

    In summary, the wheat market remains deeply influenced by geopolitics, climate events, and shifting government policies. With today’s prices holding firm despite some recent downward pressure globally, resilience and flexibility are going to be crucial for anyone involved.

    That’s it for today’s episode of Daily Wheat Price Tracker. I’m Vanessa Clark, reminding you to subscribe and tune in next time for all the latest updates on wheat prices and market insights. Thanks for listening and have a great day!

  • Wheat Watch: Ample Harvests, Geopolitical Risks Collide

    Wheat Watch: Ample Harvests, Geopolitical Risks Collide
    Oct 24 2025
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

    This is your Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hello and welcome back to Daily Wheat Price Tracker. I'm Vanessa Clark, and I'm so glad you're here with me today, October 24th, 2025. Let's dive right into what's happening in the wheat markets because things are definitely interesting today.

    So here's where we stand on pricing. December Chicago wheat closed at 5 dollars and 12 and a half cents per bushel, down just half a cent for the day. Kansas City wheat came in at 5 dollars and 1 and a half cents per bushel, actually up a cent and a half. And Minneapolis wheat finished at 5 dollars and 57 cents per bushel, down a penny. Pretty mixed action across the board, which really tells the story of where we are right now.

    The global wheat market is in a fascinating place at the moment. We're seeing record production levels around the world, which you'd think would push prices down consistently, but that's not quite what's happening. According to reports from today, ample global supplies are keeping prices generally subdued, but geopolitical tensions and climate concerns are injecting some real volatility into the mix.

    Over in Europe, wheat futures ticked up slightly as traders are keeping a close eye on potential trade talks and reports that Chinese buyers might be looking at imported wheat. European wheat closed at about 221 dollars and 87 cents per metric ton. There's a lot of attention on whether Chinese demand will materialize, which could really shift the market dynamics.

    One thing that's weighing on prices is the expectation of a large global harvest. Farmers in France have already planted more than half their expected soft wheat area for next year's harvest, and they're ahead of the typical five year pace. Good sowing conditions in Europe are adding to supply pressure.

    What's making this market so tricky to navigate right now is that we're dealing with contradictory forces. Yes, supplies are ample, but disruptions from extreme weather, ongoing geopolitical issues, and supply chain challenges mean we could see sudden price swings at any time.

    For anyone involved in wheat markets, whether you're a farmer, buyer, or just following along, the key right now is staying flexible and watching those weather forecasts and trade developments closely.

    Thanks so much for tuning in today. Be sure to subscribe to Daily Wheat Price Tracker so you never miss an update, and I'll catch you next time with more wheat market insights. Take care.
