In the North American region, the second quarter of 2023 saw a mixed market trend for wheat prices. At the start of April, the prices of wheat in Canada saw a slight improvement due to increased domestic inquiries and available stockpiles among local merchants. However, there was a significant dip in wheat prices in the middle of the second quarter. This was caused by a decline in manufacturing activities and weakened raw material prices for producing various products, including wheat. Additionally, energy and petroleum product prices fell for the fourth consecutive month in May, leading to a monthly decrease in the Industrial Product Price Index (IPPI). The prices of wheat remained low throughout May due to a mixed weather outlook and tepid export demand. Towards the end of the second quarter, the prices of wheat started to rise, balancing the overall supply-demand market.
