Farm commodities were mixed in post-holiday trade on Wednesday. Improved risk sentiment due to hopes for US fiscal deadlock resolution was supportive for rural commodities. At the same time, weak US export data weighted on grains.

Wheat was the top-loser after the USDA reported that US exports dropped 9.1% to reach the lowest level since 2009 in the week ended December 20. However, speculation that a fall in prices will attract importers from the Middle East limited the downswing.
