Key highlights
  • Wheat – Global wheat prices not immune to large production setbacks despite stocks building to 198 million tonnes
  • Beef – Follow up rain and demand from the US will drive prices in coming months
  • Dairy – Dry conditions in New Zealand have been the main catalyst for the recent improvement in prices however, a major recovery in global commodity markets is still a few months away
  • FX – Further forecast falls in the AUD/USD reflecting weak economic fundamentals, ongoing signs of slower economic growth in China, potential fore more interest rate cuts
