Trade activity remained on the quiet side, as producers continue to limit selling at current levels. Shipments...Weekly export inspections showed just 10 mb in U.S. wheat shipments during the holiday-shortened week, highlighted by nearly 5 mb of white wheat movement off the west coast. The Philippines accounted for the majority of that amount, with smaller shipments recorded to China and Indonesia. China also took 17 mb of soybeans off the west coast. Crop Progress...Aside from further improvement for Idaho, winter wheat conditions for the Pacific Northwest held mostly steady to last week. The final assessement for the calendar year from USDA showed good to excellent ratings for Idaho climbing 2 points to 82%. Oregeon lost 2 points to 37% and Washington was unchanged at 52%. -Norm Ruhoff Contributing Analyst Copyright 2023 DTN/Telvent. All Rights Reserved.
