Strong early-start to wheat export sales cools to near-normal.

578,502 tonnes were sold in this week. The trade estimate was 225,000 - 600,000.

USDA’s 825 million bushel new crop export goal, for the year that started June 1, is -4% from the five year average sale. Year to date sales are +9% vs. average. To meet USDA's goal remaining sales can fall to -4% vs. average through next May. Today's sale was -2% vs. average. If remaining sales are even with the average we'll exceed USDA's goal by 25 million bushels.
