Wheat rose the most in two weeks after a government report showed increased overseas demand for U.S. grain.
Exporters sold 1.41 million metric tons in the week ended Aug. 12, up 4.4 percent from the week before, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said. Wheat has gained 8 percent this month as Russia, which trailed only the U.S. last year as an exporter of the grain, imposed a ban on external shipments.
