What moves the price of Wheat (Milling, Feed and General)
Wheat prices follow the harvests of the big exporters (the Black Sea region, the European Union, North America, Australia and Argentina), the stocks they hold, the weather in the growing season, export rules such as quotas and taxes, the cost of ocean freight and the strength of the dollar. Quality matters too: milling wheat with more protein usually sells above feed wheat. Exchange futures in Chicago and Paris are a common reference, and physical cargoes are priced as a premium or a discount to them.

How trading Wheat (Milling, Feed and General) works on Comdity
A company posts a sell offer or a buy request with the quantity, the delivery period and the ports. Other companies send an offer or a counteroffer on FOB, CFR or CIF terms. When both sides want to go on, they accept the offer, receive each other's contact details and finalise the contract directly. Comdity is a marketplace: it is not a party to the contract.
- FOB (Free On Board): the seller delivers the goods on board at the loading port; the buyer arranges and pays the sea freight.
- CFR (Cost and Freight): the seller pays the sea freight to the discharge port; the buyer carries the risk and the insurance from loading.
- CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight): as CFR, and the seller also insures the cargo to the discharge port.
