grain markets US Wheat Takes Double Hit from Weather EU Extends Ban on Imports of Ukrainian Grain and Oilseeds to Five Countries

Grain Market Outlook on the First Day of the Weak

Spread the news!

European Grain Markets

  • After a distinctly slow week, the Matif grain markets closed fairly firm on Friday, making another bid to stem the decline
  • Technically, wheat still holds the July low while corn closes on par with May, meaning bulls’ chances are rising again
  • With sowing having started amid hot and dry weather in many European countries, the canola market is certainly now adding a weather premium, helping it to a firm weekly close

American Grain Markets

  • After a non-stop slump through Thursday, the Chicago wheat market is also weak for the week. Friday’s rebound, however, comes just after reaching the May low
  • Near the end of summer, conditions in the U.S. Corn Belt will finally be typically summer-like, and that’s obviously supporting soybean and corn prices

Black Sea Grain Markets

  • On the final leg of the harvest of winter crops in Ukraine, the average yields of wheat, barley and canola there continue to increase
  • Heavy rains are expected for spring wheat in Russia and Kazakhstan, and have begun in Hungary, with a negative impact on grain market prices.
