EU cuts 2024/25 wheat output forecast to 124.4 MMT as U.S. export sales reach 285,000 MT

AI Market Summary
Wheat futures rose across CBOT, KCBT and MPLS as Black Sea escalation (a Ukrainian drone strike damaging a Russian grain export terminal) heightened supply-risk premiums. Separately, the EU Commission cut 2024/25 EU wheat production and ending stocks estimates, reinforcing a tighter balance sheet. US weekly export sales were modest but showed notable demand from Indonesia and the Philippines, supporting near-term sentiment.
