CHICAGO, July 10 (Reuters) - Spot basis bids for hard red winter wheat were steady in a spot check of locations on the U.S. Plains on Thursday in a day of quiet trade, according to dealers.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported export sales of U.S. 2025/26 wheat in the week ended July 3 at 567,800 metric tons, near the high end of trade expectations for 200,000 to 600,000 tons. EXP/WHE
Ahead of the USDA's monthly supply-demand and crop production reports due on Friday, analysts surveyed by Reuters on average expect the government to lower its estimate of U.S. 2025/26 wheat production. Only slight changes were seen for the USDA's forecasts of 2025/26 U.S. and global wheat ending stocks.
K.C. September hard red winter wheat KWU25 ended up 10-3/4 cents at $5.34-3/4 a bushel.
