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

    Hello everyone, I’m Vanessa Clark, and you’re listening to the Daily Wheat Price Tracker. Today is Monday, November 17, 2025, and I’m here to bring you the latest on wheat prices, market trends, and what’s moving the needle for farmers, traders, and anyone interested in the wheat market.

    Wheat prices are up today, with December Chicago wheat trading at 541 cents per bushel, which is 14 cents higher than yesterday. December Kansas City wheat is also up, currently at 528 and a quarter cents, while December Spring wheat is up 8 cents at 573 cents per bushel. These gains come after a mixed weekend, with some reports showing wheat closed lower yesterday due to the latest USDA WASDE report, which showed higher-than-expected ending stocks for both the US and the world. US ending stocks are now estimated at 901 million bushels, and global stocks jumped to 271.4 million metric tons, the first year-over-year increase since 2019. This news was bearish for the market, but prices have bounced back today.

    There’s also some talk about China possibly buying more US wheat, but so far, there’s no official confirmation or new flash sales reported. Meanwhile, Argentina is harvesting a large crop, with local estimates at 22 million metric tons, and their wheat is currently the cheapest origin in the world at about 210 dollars FOB. This could put some pressure on US exports in the coming weeks.

    On the global front, Egypt is aiming for self-sufficiency and plans to procure five million metric tons of local wheat next season, which could reduce their imports. India is also considering resuming exports of wheat products after three years, which could add more supply to the global market.

    For farmers and traders, keep an eye on export sales and weather in key producing regions. The market is reacting to both supply news and rumors of demand, so staying informed is key. If you’re making decisions based on wheat prices, consider the impact of global supply and shifting demand patterns.

  • Wheat Watch: Your Daily Dose of Grain Gains and Pains
    Nov 14 2025

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

    Hello and welcome back to the Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. Thanks for joining me for your go-to update on wheat prices, market shifts, and all the essential news you need to stay ahead in the world of agriculture.

    Today is Friday, November fourteenth, twenty twenty-five, and I’m here to break down the latest wheat market action, put the numbers into context, and share a few tips for navigating this dynamic commodity space.

    Let’s kick off with the most recent numbers. According to today’s closing grain prices from GX94 Radio, spring wheat finished at two hundred fifty dollars and twenty-two cents per metric ton, which is down just over four dollars from yesterday. Feed wheat closed at one hundred sixty-nine dollars and fifty-eight cents per metric ton. Over on the Chicago Board of Trade, wheat futures slipped slightly, dropping a quarter of a cent to close at five hundred thirty-five and three quarters per bushel for December contracts. Kansas City futures nudged up a quarter of a cent to five hundred twenty-five and three quarters, and Minneapolis remained steady at five hundred sixty-nine and three quarters per bushel.

    Now, what’s driving these moves? The USDA just released its much-anticipated November World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report. The key takeaway for wheat: no change to U.S. usage, but higher production and larger ending stocks than last report. The agency reported a record all-wheat yield, which raised total wheat supplies by fifty-eight million bushels, pushing up expectations for a healthy surplus this season. As a result, the USDA lowered their season-average farm price for wheat by ten cents, putting it at five dollars per bushel. This hints at softer prices ahead unless demand picks up or weather throws the global market a curveball.

    Global factors are playing a big part too. Argentina’s wheat harvest is moving along at a good clip, with forecasts raised to a record twenty-four point five million metric tons. Above-normal rainfall has really helped boost their output. Meanwhile, exports out of Argentina are currently some of the cheapest in the world, putting more competitive pressure on U.S. wheat exporters, especially since Russian wheat is also being offered at prices below that of U.S. hard red winter wheat.

    On the demand side, U.S. wheat exports are up nineteen percent compared to last year, outpacing the USDA’s forecast of a ten percent rise. Overseas buyers like Saudi Arabia and Tunisia are shopping for wheat, but with plenty of supply around the globe—thanks to strong harvests in both Argentina and the European Union—there’s a lot for customers to choose from. This abundance keeps a cap on how high prices can go for now.

    What does all this mean for those of you following the wheat market? If you’re a grower, be sure to keep a close eye on both local cash prices and global weather patterns. Soft prices could linger while big crops come to market, but unexpected changes—say, drought in a major producing country—can still spark rallies. For millers, bakers, and end users, it’s a great time to shop around and maybe lock in a portion of your wheat needs while the market is well supplied.

    That wraps up our snapshot for today. Remember, even in quieter markets, staying informed gives you an edge when the winds change. Thanks for tuning in to the Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. Make sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss an update. I’ll be here next time with the latest prices and the stories shaping the wheat world. Have a great evening and happy trading.

  • Wheat Watch: Bumper Crops, Buyer Leverage, and the USDA Report Looming
    Nov 12 2025
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

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

    Welcome back to the Daily Wheat Price Tracker. I’m Vanessa Clark, here to help you stay up to date with the latest wheat prices and the stories behind the markets. If you want to know what’s moving wheat prices this week, you’re absolutely in the right place.

    Let’s jump right into today’s wheat market update for Wednesday, November twelfth, two thousand twenty-five. At the close, December Chicago wheat futures were right around five dollars fifty-one cents per bushel, Kansas City wheat was near five dollars forty-one, and Minneapolis wheat sat at about five dollars eighty-four per bushel. According to several market reports, these prices are holding mostly steady compared to last week, though futures did catch an uptick with some recent volatility after hitting lows back in October.

    In the cash market, soft white wheat traded around five dollars ninety cents per bushel on the Portland market, based on recent quality and strong global competition. Across Canada, feed wheat is trading at roughly one hundred sixty-nine dollars fifty-eight cents per metric ton, with red spring wheat closing at about two hundred fifty-five dollars thirty-one cents, reflecting a slight increase from earlier in the week.

    The dominant story in wheat right now is all about supply. The International Grains Council says that global wheat production for the twenty-twenty-five to twenty-twenty-six season is projected at a record eight hundred nineteen million tons, thanks to bumper crops in the European Union, Russia, and higher output in the Americas. The U.S. wheat crop specifically has come in with strong quality and abundant supplies, and U.S. Wheat Associates highlight that total production is not only above last year but also above the five-year average.

    With so much wheat out there, prices are facing downward pressure. Large exporters like Argentina and Russia have offered highly competitive prices, pushing more grain into the global supply chain than current demand can keep up with. Export flows out of the Black Sea region and Argentina are surging, further putting a lid on any price rallies. So, for U.S. and Canadian growers, this means managing costs and monitoring export opportunities is more important than ever.

    Despite all this, demand has been fairly robust. Export inspections for U.S. wheat are running close to twenty percent higher than last year, and wheat exports out of Europe remain healthy, though slightly below last year’s pace.

    For those working in the wheat industry, here are a few practical takeaways. First, with plenty of supply on the market, buyers may find opportunities for competitive pricing both domestically and abroad. Second, given the potential for technical rallies when outside markets shift or new export deals emerge, it’s smart to stay alert for buying or selling opportunities that align with your business needs. Lastly, keep an eye on weather forecasts in the Southern Hemisphere—Australia and Argentina are still bringing in their harvests, and any disruptions there could impact prices quickly.

    Before I wrap up, here’s a market outlook to watch. Reports suggest the United States Department of Agriculture is set to release new data in a couple days, and that could shift market sentiment, especially if there are any surprises in supply or demand numbers. For now, expect wheat prices to remain in a holding pattern, with plenty of grain available and buyers enjoying a bit of leverage.

    Thanks so much for tuning in to the Daily Wheat Price Tracker. I’m Vanessa Clark. If you found this update helpful, be sure to subscribe and join me again tomorrow for all the latest on global wheat prices and market insights. Until then, wishing you successful trading and a great rest of your day.

  • Wheat Watch: Global Grains, Local Gains - Your Daily Market Minute
    Nov 11 2025
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipaiThis is your Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.Hello and welcome to Daily Wheat Price Tracker, the essential podcast for anyone in the global wheat community. I’m Vanessa Clark, and today is Tuesday, November eleventh, twenty twenty-five. Thanks for tuning in for the latest wheat market news, current trading prices, and actionable insights to help you stay ahead.Let’s dive right into today’s wheat trading update. As of this morning, December Chicago wheat is trading just down about a quarter cent at five dollar thirty-five and a half cents per bushel, while December Kansas City wheat is slightly weaker at five dollars twenty-four and three quarter cents. Minneapolis wheat futures, meanwhile, are a touch stronger, up half a cent to five dollars sixty-four and three quarter cents per bushel. The market continues to hover just above its one hundred-day moving average, which analysts are watching for possible technical support.Why the mixed movement? Recent export inspections have been a bit lackluster—just over two hundred ninety thousand tons, mostly headed to Mexico, the Philippines, and Taiwan. That’s down from both last week and the same time last year, highlighting some export concerns despite decent crop ratings. US winter wheat crop progress remains strong, with ninety-six percent planted compared to ninety-two percent a week ago. Ratings are up too, with about fifty-two percent currently classified as good to excellent.Globally, weather stories are influencing regional prices and expectations. In North America, colder conditions are receding, and growers anticipate warmer weather heading into late November, which should further support crop progress. South America’s Argentina is looking dry and favorable for corn and soybean planting, while in Brazil, wheat harvest is nearly sixty percent complete, trailing last year’s pace. Over in China, winter wheat plantings are benefitting from dry spells, and in India, cool and dry weather is also helping wheat farmers at this crucial time.Let’s talk about international competition—a big driver in wheat price trends right now. Russia remains a key exporter, with prices for wheat with twelve and a half percent protein content quoted around two hundred thirty-two to two hundred thirty-three dollars per metric ton for mid-December delivery. Export volumes remain robust, though competition from record harvests in Australia, Argentina, and the European Union has intensified globally, putting pressure on prices. Russia also cut export quotas by over sixty percent this quarter to safeguard domestic supply, and this move has caused shifts in the international trade flows that wheat buyers and sellers are watching closely.Closer to home, US wheat prices are still feeling the impact of larger supplies. This year’s national yield exceeded expectations at just over fifty-three bushels per acre, and ending stocks are at some of the highest levels we’ve seen in years. That supply surge pushed the season average farm price for wheat down to about five dollars fifty-two cents last year, and cash prices for hard red winter and soft red winter wheat now trade near five dollars twenty cents, with hard red spring wheat at five dollars sixty.One standout factor in recent market volatility has been China’s purchase of US wheat cargos and the suspension of tariffs—a move that briefly lifted futures prices, though the rally was short-lived. With global supplies still ample and demand sluggish, any price gains might be limited unless crop or yield surprises shake the market.So what practical tips can we take away today? For producers and investors, now is a good time to keep a close watch on both technical support levels and key export markets. If you’re marketing wheat, consider timing sales to take advantage of price pockets that may result from international buying, weather developments, or policy shifts, especially as the USDA’s next report is set to land Friday and could move markets if there’s new data on yields or foreign demand.Remember, wheat prices are influenced by global supply and demand, weather events, currency shifts, and government policies. Staying informed can help you make better decisions, whether you’re a grower, trader, or food industry professional.That wraps up today’s episode of Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark.

  • Wheat Watch: Global Grain Gains, Weather Woes & What's Next
    Nov 10 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’m Vanessa Clark, here to give you the latest updates on global wheat markets, trading prices, and everything you need to know to stay ahead in the world of grain.

    Starting with today’s big story: wheat futures ticked higher to start the week. On the Chicago Board of Trade, December wheat closed at five dollars and thirty five and three quarter cents per bushel. That’s a one and a half percent jump from Friday and takes us near the daily high. Kansas City hard red winter wheat also finished strong at five dollars and twenty seven cents per bushel, while Minneapolis spring wheat held up at five dollars and sixty four and a quarter cents.

    So, why the pop in wheat prices? Optimism is running through the grain markets as lawmakers in Washington moved closer to ending the government shutdown. That news provided a shot of positive sentiment for commodities across the board as traders anticipate the return of regular USDA crop reporting and less uncertainty.

    Globally, traders are keeping an eye on China, hoping for renewed demand to boost U.S. exports. There was a burst of excitement last week as Chinese importers booked some U.S. wheat for December shipment after high-level trade talks. However, with no new buying rumors surfacing since then, the market is waiting for solid commitments rather than just hopes.

    Weather is another major factor shaping wheat prices this season. U.S. winter wheat drilling is nearly complete, with more than ninety percent of the crop sown. Ratings show about fifty two percent of the crop is in good to excellent condition according to the latest industry polls. Across the northern Great Plains and Canada, rain has improved conditions, while southern hemisphere crops like in Brazil and Argentina look healthy, supporting global supply.

    Meanwhile, Russia continues to dominate export headlines. Sovecon increased its outlook for Russian wheat shipments this season, with projections now hitting forty three point eight million metric tons. There’s talk the Russian government might double its export quota in the early part of next year, which could shift global trade flows and prices.

    For those following UK and European prices, feed wheat in East Anglia for November delivery stands at one hundred seventy one pounds per metric ton, with Paris milling wheat also drifting a bit lower due to weaker U.S. market sentiment.

    If you’re a grower or market watcher, what does all this mean for you? Volatility looks set to persist this week, so keep a close eye on breaking news out of Washington and Beijing. Actionable takeaway for today: consider locking in sales on price spikes, but stay nimble—international trade issues and weather shifts can quickly change the outlook. If you need to plan for inputs or make forward contracts, use a blend of technical support and global demand headlines when making decisions.

    That’s all for today’s Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. Thank you so much for listening. If you enjoyed today’s update, be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, and join me again tomorrow for another rundown of market moves and insider insights. Until then, stay tuned and stay wheat-wise!

  • Wheat Watch: Global Glut Grinds Gains as Exports Ebb
    Nov 7 2025
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

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

    Welcome back to the Daily Wheat Price Tracker. I’m Vanessa Clark, and I’m here with your latest update on everything you need to know about wheat—prices, news, and trends making headlines this Friday, November seventh, twenty twenty-five.

    Let’s start with the most important question of the day: how’s wheat trading? According to the latest closing prices, number one Red Spring Wheat finished at two hundred forty-nine dollars and forty-eight cents per metric ton, up thirty-five cents from yesterday. Feed wheat closed the day at one hundred sixty-nine dollars and fifty-eight cents per metric ton. If you’re watching the futures market, Chicago wheat futures dipped by three and a half percent today, while Paris milling wheat futures were down one point two percent.

    On a global scale, the wheat price index fell by one percent in October according to the Food and Agriculture Organization. That’s part of a broader global trend, with the overall food price index dropping one point six percent last month. Increased cereal supply is fueling most of this relief in pricing, and looking ahead, cereal production for the upcoming season is forecast to hit a record high—almost three billion tons globally.

    What’s driving these changes? There are a few big stories. Chinese wheat buying has been softer than expected which has pushed global wheat prices down. Reports show China purchased only one hundred twenty thousand tons of U.S. wheat for December delivery, even after some tariffs on American wheat are set to be lifted starting November tenth. Simultaneously, Argentinian wheat harvest is advancing rapidly and expected to reach a robust twenty-two million tons this year, helping to boost global supply.

    Weather is also playing its part. Recently, precipitation in key U.S. wheat-growing regions helped ease drought conditions, which supports better yields and, ultimately, steadier supply for next year’s crop.

    For growers wondering what this all means—now might be a good time to keep a close eye on export trends and planting decisions. Countries like India are forecast to maintain their wheat planted area thanks to government support programs, which should keep their production steady. And in Russia, export duties on wheat have dropped significantly, which could support more aggressive exports, adding another layer to the global supply landscape.

    So, whether you’re a farmer tracking your crop, or a trader watching the market, it’s clear that ample global supply and subdued international buying are shaping today’s wheat dynamics. Stay tuned for developments on weather, global trade, and government policies—all key drivers for wheat prices in the coming weeks.

    Thanks so much for joining me on Daily Wheat Price Tracker. If you found today’s update helpful, be sure to subscribe and tune in next time for more insights to keep you ahead of the curve. I’m Vanessa Clark—wishing you a productive and profitable week.

  • Wheat Woes: China Buys, Profits Fly, Prices Dip
    Nov 6 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 is November 6th, and we’ve got some important updates on the wheat market that you’re going to want to hear.

    Wheat prices took a hit today, with December soft red winter wheat futures closing at five dollars and thirty-five and a half cents per bushel, down nineteen and a quarter cents from yesterday. That’s near the daily low for the session. Hard red winter wheat also slipped, ending at five dollars and twenty-two and a quarter cents, down seventeen and three-quarters cents. Spring wheat was a little different, actually gaining three-quarters of a cent to close at five dollars and fifty-seven cents, which is a bit of a bright spot in an otherwise down day.

    So what’s driving these moves? Well, there’s been a lot of profit-taking and some heavy selling pressure in the market. Traders are reacting to news that China has purchased two cargoes of U.S. wheat for December shipment, which is the first time in about a year. This is being seen as a positive sign for trade relations, but so far, the actual impact on prices has been limited. Some traders think this is more of a political move than a sign of a major shift in demand.

    The World Bank is also forecasting that wheat prices will stay lower through 2025, thanks to better harvests in key producing countries and lower energy costs. That means we could see more price pressure in the months ahead unless demand picks up.

    If you’re a farmer or someone involved in the wheat trade, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on export news and trade policy, especially with the U.S. government shutdown delaying some important reports. For now, it looks like the market is consolidating after a recent run-up, so don’t be surprised if we see more sideways or slightly lower prices in the near term.

  • Wheat Watch: China's Back, Markets React - Your Daily Grain Update with Vanessa Clark
    Nov 5 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, where we bring you all the essential updates from the world of wheat, today and every day. I’m Vanessa Clark, and I’m glad you’re tuning in to keep your finger on the pulse of the wheat market.

    It’s Wednesday, November fifth, and once again, the wheat market is making headlines. Today’s most important number: Chicago December wheat futures ended the session at five dollars and fifty-four and three-quarters cents per bushel, closing up by four and a half cents. That caps a strong month for wheat, with prices climbing over eight percent in just the last four weeks according to Brownfield Ag News and The Chronicle Journal. Compared to where we were a year ago, though, wheat is still trading more than three percent lower.

    Let’s dig a little deeper into what’s driving this momentum. The recent rally is largely fueled by renewed interest from China. Reports are swirling that Chinese importers have started inquiring about U.S. wheat for December through February shipments after easing tariffs. This is a big turnaround since China had pulled back on imports earlier in the year, and traders see it as a bullish sign for American wheat.

    At the same time, global supply remains ample, with Russia on track for a near-record wheat crop this year. Ukraine’s exports are also stable. Ukrainian wheat is currently going for about 220 dollars per ton and could grow by another 30 dollars in the second half of November, as sellers shift their focus to new contracts for winter delivery.

    Here in the U.S., it’s not all smooth sailing. Some varieties of wheat are facing pressure from high input costs and regional oversupply, pushing them toward five-year lows. Still, broader market forces—like geopolitical tensions and the weather outlook, especially with the anticipated return of the La Nina climate pattern—mean traders are bracing for ongoing volatility.

    If you’re following wheat prices for your business, your farm, or just out of curiosity, keep a close eye on global export news, Chinese buying trends, and shifting weather forecasts. These will continue to be the big levers shaping daily prices.

    That’s your snapshot for today on the Daily Wheat Price Tracker. I’m Vanessa Clark. Thanks for listening, and remember to subscribe for your daily wheat price updates. Join me next time, and stay ahead in the world of wheat.
