CBOT wheat ends higher on weaker dollar

CHICAGO, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Chicago Board of Trade wheat futures rose on Monday as the U.S. dollar weakened, making U.S. exports more attractive.

• A Reuters poll of analysts predicted that the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in a weekly report due later in the day, would put U.S. spring wheat harvesting at 84% complete as of Sunday, up from 72% a week earlier.

• Analysts polled said the winter wheat crop was likely to be 5% planted.

• The U.S. dollar fell on Monday, extending losses after Friday's weak U.S. jobs report that reinforced expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut this month.

• A weaker dollar tends to make U.S. exports cheaper and therefore more competitive on the global market.

• Analyst APK-Inform sharply increased its forecast for Ukraine's 2025 grain harvest and exports, while consultancy Sovecon raised its forecast for Russia's wheat crop.

• CBOT December soft red winter wheat WZ25 settled up 4-1/2 cents at $5.23-3/4 per bushel.

• K.C. December hard red winter wheat KWZ25 ended up 12 cents at $5.17-1/4 per bushel.

• Minneapolis December spring wheat MWEZ25 rose 10-3/4 cents to finish at $5.66 a bushel.
