NO MAJOR THREAT FOR WHEAT SUPPLY IN THE WORLD DESPITE A

LOWER CROP

May 2017

World wheat crop down by 15 Mto, mainly due to a lower crop (-13 Mto)
World wheat stocks continue to grow but this increase is only due to larger chinese stocks (+18 Mto in 2017/18 to 128 Mto, or 50% of world stocks…)
Excluding chinese S&D, stocks among exporting countries are expected to decrease in 2017/18.

CONCLUSION

May 2017

Bearish factors:
Record stocks in the world but half of them

are located in China…
Good prospects for Black Sea crops
Expansion of wheat areas in Argentina
Very low farmer sales in Europe and Black Sea at this time of the year
Macro (debt in China, Trump politics, geopolitics) and currencies moves (US dollar, Russian Ruble, Brazilian Real, Argentinian Peso, etc.)
Bullish factors:
Wheat stocks among the main exporting countries are forecast to decrease by Mto in 2017/18
Lower wheat crops in the US, in Russia and in Australia
Demand from India will still exist in 2017/18
Storage capacities are growing around the world and farmers can be reluctant to sell at low prices
