£95 under the October / November peak.
But the fundamentals have barely changed…
They have though

At its peak;
India banned exports but then subsequently carried on exporting.
Ukrainian wheat was not accessible at all, but then is in various round about ways but no where near enough to bring prices right down.
We weren’t gonna make it to harvest with out running out, and we have.

Like them over loath them the money men managing big funds drove the wheat market way past where it would have naturally gone. They have lost interest for now due to a lack of fresh bullish news and so have sold out of their positions. Will they be back to drive it up again, possibly, could they over sell it on the downside, more than likely. Was the market over cooked at its peak, probably. They do however give fluidity to a market, they enabled people to sell at prices far above where mills were prepared to pay, so for those that did well done.

The interesting time will be May onwards next year, as tight stcks should be even tighter, will Ukraine exports be sorted by then, maybe, but not like they would have been normally.

Nothing goes up for ever or down forever.

by falling it may tighten the job more as it gives end users an opportunity to buy at levels they can make money at.

There is word that the Indian harvest could be as low as 82mt. In that case, they will be importing 18mt.

Money is flowing out at the moment. The usual downward swing is being enhanced by the outflow of fund money.

The world S&D is not that much changed, no matter what the USDA will say. A slightly less bad French crop will not make up for whats going on in Oklahoma, or to corn in North Dakota. It just may take a while for reality to catch up. But then, ive got 12 months to think about that.

Just so you don't have to, I've popped over and taken some pictures in Saskatchewan this afternoon.

.
Most grain producing areas of central prairies are running as much as month late with seeding, and plenty of waterlogging still evident, quite a bit won't be planted at all,and early frosts at harvest would be very damaging to such late crops.
Not too much optimism evident yet.

Whats the current situation with the Canola crop?
 
Tbf although its wrong russia is stealing grain at least somebody somewhere is getting supplied and will be one less customer later on.
Well that’s one theory yes.
Another problem is because Russia is stealing Ukrainian grain the Ukrainian farmers in some cases have decapitated their harvesting equipment so crops can’t be won.
That’s what is still in the ground not though not what’s in the ports
