USDA report triggers price correction
Ahead of the March supply and demand report, analysts were widely speculating that U.

wheat inventories to 633 million bushels
.
However, the U.
S.
Department of Agriculture pointed out in the report that U.
S.
wheat prices are uncompetitive, and sales and exports have so far been lower than expected, so U.
S.
wheat exports in 2021/22 were lowered to 800 million bushels, down 10 million bushels from the previous month.

wheat ending stocks were also raised 5 million bushels to 653 million bushes
