Offers for Australian premium white prices were trending higher than previous close, seen up about $3/mt in South Australia, as extended dryness and a bleak outlook propped up old crop prices. Production for the coming season could face downside risk given the unfavorable weather forecast and expectations of significantly lower yield. Australia is forecast to produce about 24 million-25 million mt of wheat in 2017-18 (October-September), down 30-32% from last season. Lower production in Australia could potentially help steady global wheat prices.
