CBOT wheat choppy as traders await USDA data

CHICAGO, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Chicago Board of Trade wheat futures were little changed on Wednesday as the U.S. Department of Agriculture prepares to release world supply and demand data on Friday.

• CBOT December soft red winter wheat WZ25 traded flat to end at $5.36 per bushel.

• K.C. December hard red winter wheat KWZ25 ended 1-3/4 cents higher at $5.25-1/2 a bushel and Minneapolis December spring wheat MWEZ25 finished up 1/4 cent at $5.69-3/4 a bushel.

• A Reuters poll of analysts estimated export sales of wheat for the week ended Nov. 6 at 250,000-600,000 metric tons.

  The release of export sales data by the USDA has been suspended because of the ongoing U.S. government shutdown.

• The USDA report will include the agency's first estimates of U.S. and global crop production and ending stocks since mid-September.
