Wheat advanced to a four-month high in Chicago as Australia cut its export forecast after heavy rains delayed the harvest and reduced grain quality.

Wheat for March delivery increased for a fifth day, gaining as much as 2.1 percent to $8.095 a bushel, the highest level for a most-active contract since Aug. 6, before trading at $8.04 at 10:50 a.m. Singapore time.
