Wheat extended losses as sentiment remained weak after the USDA report showed inventories totaled 1.23 billion bushels in the beginning of March compared to expectations of 1.17 billion bushels. Limiting the downswing, only 34% of the US wheat crop was rated as good or excellent last week, the lowest rating in 11 years.
