Wheat Weakens Under Pressure Canada Reports
Domestic wheat markets weakened as prices declined toward season lows for the week ending August 30. Factors included early movement and heavy selling of Canadian wheat, with feed grains holding steady or rising due to reduced corn crop estimates and steady demand. Harvesting was near complete in Manitoba and well advanced in Saskatchewan and Alberta, with many outturns grading No 2 or better if favorable weather continues. European harvests were revised down, suggesting European and North African crops fall short of last season, offsetting increases in India.
