Content: Sellers of wheat receive fewer dollars for their product when the US currency is strong and more dollars when the currency is weak. Therefore, a strong US dollar depresses wheat prices, while a weak US dollar lifts them. In addition, since the United States is a major exporter of wheat, its price will likely continue to be quoted in US dollars. Supply and Demand Imbalances
Governments often take actions that result in supply and demand imbalances in the wheat market. For example, in recent years, India has enacted import duties on wheat in an attempt to support domestic production. These taxes could lead to depressed demand for exports and lower global prices. On the other hand, countries that subsidize wheat with tax or other incentives may cease to do so in the future. Farmers would then switch to growing other crops, which could cause wheat supplies to diminish and prices to rise. Emerging Markets
Global demographic patterns are shifting. Population growth in the developed world is stagnant or declining, but Africa, Southeast Asia and the Middle East are experiencing a population boom.
