⚡ Quantum Brief
Wheat futures declined across all three major U.S. markets on February 25, 2026, with Chicago SRW dropping 3–5 cents, KC HRW losing 4–5 cents, and Minneapolis spring wheat falling 2–4 cents. Algeria’s purchase of 600,000 metric tons of wheat in a Tuesday tender provided limited support, while Russia’s 2025/26 wheat export forecast was cut by 0.3 MMT to 45.4 MMT by SovEcon. Traders anticipate weekly U.S. export sales data (week of 2/19) to show 250,000–500,000 MT for old crop and 0–50,000 MT for new crop, signaling modest demand. March 2026 CBOT wheat settled at $5.65 (down 2.5 cents), while May contracts fell further to $5.68¾ (down 4.5 cents), reflecting bearish near-term sentiment. Minneapolis spring wheat remained the highest-priced at $5.77¼ (March) and $5.92¼ (May), though losses persisted amid broader market weakness.
