    Why are Wheat - Kansas Prices so high?

    29-01-2026 - Over the past month, the price of Kansas wheat has seen a moderate rise, increasing from 527.25 cents per bushel to 542.25 cents per bushel. This upward movement suggests a strengthening in the raw material market, possibly due to changes in supply or demand dynamics. The forecast anticipates a slight increase to 546.25 cents per bushel, up by 4.0 cents or 0.7% from the current price, indicating a generally stable trend with minimal risk.

    The current forecast highlights upward price pressure on wheat, primarily influenced by technical data, which contributes a 5.0 cents per bushel impact. However, there is a divergence among data types: while demand and technical factors suggest price increases, flow and supply data indicate potential downward pressure.

    In contrast, LiteFinance's analysis predicts a gradual decline in wheat prices, with expectations for January 2026 ranging between $510 and $520 per bushel, and further decreasing to $505–$512 by February 2026. This bearish outlook differs from the forecast's projection of an increase to 546.25 cents per bushel, reflecting a contrary perspective from external sources.
