As the fourth quarter began, the price trajectory did not show much fluctuation. Prices were still observed to be wavering within confined limits. Given the freight disturbance in the Red Sea and the hindrances in global trade, some kickback was observed in the export queries. Thus, domestic prices in China faced a minor pushback.

Milling Wheat Price Trend for the First Half of 2023

In the first and second quarters of 2023, the price trend of milling wheat witnessed a mixed trajectory with month-on-month fluctuations. The trading activities were highly affected by the weak rates of production in major wheat-producing nations such as India. The harvesters registered a decline of almost 10 percent in the harvest, which helped the prices of milling wheat to increase during the first two quarters.

To curb the inclination in the price trend of milling wheat due to limited supply, governments in Asia-Pacific countries undertook measures and imposed limits on traders that negatively impacted the price trend of milling wheat.

Other factors that proved to be a challenge for the milling wheat market were fluctuations in weather, restricted trade due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and uneven economic conditions around the globe. This trend was not limited to Asian countries; even in European nations, high uncertainties in the wheat market were driven by disruptions in Ukraine’s supply chain and the struggling conditions of several developing nations.
