European Grain Markets

  • On Friday evening, the USDA surprised the grain markets with much larger than expected US wheat production and stocks. The wheat slump in Paris reflects this surprise.
  • The corn market has little choice but to follow this weakness, given that U.S. corn stocks are actually less than expected.
  • Higher soybean stocks and falling canola prices in Canada also predict a weak canola market

American Grain Markets

  • With Friday’s depreciation, the Chicago wheat market plunges to levels not seen since the summer of 2020, and as much as that is to be believed, we will almost certainly see even lower levels
  • With such weakness in wheat, it will also be difficult for corn to appreciate, especially since the soybean market is also renewing its decline and is currently the weak link in spring crops

Black Sea Grain Markets

  • Ukrainian authorities report that the three grain and iron ore ships that were being loaded in the country’s Black Sea ports sailed safely on Sunday, and now have 5 more that have arrived for loading
  • Bulgaria has banned imports of sunflower from Ukraine until the end of November. After that, grain imports from Ukraine will be carried out according to the licensing regime agreed with the EU

EU agrees €50 billion loan for Ukraine, which will support Hryvnia exchange rate EU leaders have agreed to provide 50 billion euros in macro-financial assistance to Ukraine, European Council President Charles Michel said. "The decision, supported by all 27 EU member states, will ensure stable, long-term and predictable financing for Ukraine. The EU, aware of what is at stake, is taking the lead and responsibility in supporting Ukraine," Michel stressed. In 2024, Ukraine will need to attract $37-40 billion in external financing, part of which will be EU assistance. US aid would be very important, the decision on which the Trump-controlled Republicans are delaying to use as an argument in the US presidential election. In January, the revenues of the state budget of Ukraine amounted to UAH 154.9 billion, of which UAH 140.6 billion were internal revenues and UAH 14.6 billion were external revenues, mainly taxes: Taxes - UAH 60.2 bn, customs - UAH 47.3 bn, OVDP - UAH 32.8 billion, international assistance - $0.4 billion (UAH 14.6 billion). The work of the economy (without debts and grants) brought UAH 107.5 billion to the budget, which is a good indicator for peacetime, but now it is a very weak result, as similar volumes remain in the shadows. In January, compared to December, the National Bank reduced the volume of interbank currency sales by 28.7%, from $3.553 billion to $2.533 billion. According to the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, the state and state-guaranteed debt has doubled since the beginning of the war, reaching $145.3 billion or UAH 5,519.5 billion as of 31 December 2023. In 2023, the government debt grew by 35.4% in hryvnia, or 1,444 billion hryvnias, and by 30.4% in foreign currency, or $33.9 billion. The interbank rate of the dollar remained in the range of 37.5-37.6 UAH/$ this week. Experts believe that the receipt of US and EU aid will allow the hryvnia to remain at the level of 37.5-38 UAH/$, otherwise the exchange rate may rise.EU countries and Ukraine Will Meet to Solve the Grain Problem High Temperatures in the Southern Europe Raises Concerns for CornEuropean Commission Expects Lower Corn Yield Sowing Has Started in USA - Soybeans, Sunflower, Corn Germany Expanded the Area Sown Under Winter Crops Grain Markets: Sowings Almost Complete Argentina’s Soybean Harvest Is Almost Over China Increased Weekly Soybean Processing Volume - Poland Reduces Grain ProductionGrain Markets: Sowings Almost Complete rain field weather agricultural marketsHow Is the Weather in Agricultural Markets?
