AUST Wheat sales - Nothing to report

The world bank has released its 10 year forecast for wheat prices : Based on their report the base price for wheat (US HRW grade) for 2005 is $140.00 USD a metric ton - this equates at the current exchange rate of 0.7926 the AUD price equates to the following

2005 $176.63
2006 $164.02
2007 $170.33
2008 $172.85
2009 $179.16

2012 $187.86
2013 $190.39
2014 $192.91
2015 $195.56

For every 10 point down ward movement ( 1 cent ) in the exchange rate this equates to approx $3.82 extra per metric ton. And of course if the exchange rate climbs - we get less -
