Spread the news!

European Grain Markets

  • In grain markets if we exclude the expiring and increasingly less representative September futures, the wheat in Paris records another day in which generally nothing happens
  • The same can be said for the corn market, except that the most actively traded November futures are weakening, while all others are rising or unchanged
  • It’s rare for the canola market to be a mirror image of the corn market, but that’s generally what happened yesterday

American Grain Markets

  • While it will remain dry, yesterday’s weather patterns, confirm a rapid and sharp cooling in the US Corn Belt since Sunday, so at least that reason for appreciation is fading

Black Sea Grain Markets

  • The Ministry of Agriculture of Ukraine reports that the wheat harvest is now 100% complete, with 21.94Mt harvested from 4.6Mha with an average yield, a country record 4.72t/ha
  • Unofficially, Russia’s agriculture ministry has “approved” a reduction in the wheat “price floor” to $260 per tonne on a FOB basis, for ordinary sales and $270 when for international auctions
