The Kremlin said on Wednesday that Russia’s stance on the Black Sea grain deal – that its own interests must be taken into account in talks aimed at extending it beyond May 18 – was understood by all relevant parties. Apparent talks are set to take place this week between the four parties involved in the continuation of the grain deal. “Work is underway. Our position is well known… and consistent,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. “So, let’s wait for the outcome of the negotiations.”
Export prices for Russian wheat weakened amid continued high export volumes, uncertainty surrounding the Black Sea grain deal and in anticipation of a new crop, analysts said on Wednesday. Prices for Russian wheat with 12.5% protein content, delivered free on board (FOB) from the Black Sea in June, were $254 a tonne, down $11 from last week, the IKAR agriculture consultancy said.
Japan is heading to Tender for 60K tonnes of Feed and 20K tonnes of barley in and buy and sell auction on May 17th 2023. The grains are to arrive in Japan by October 26th 2023. According to Reuters ‘’ Japan buys and sells its feed wheat and barley via so-called SBS auctions, in which end-users and importers specify the origin, price and quantity of grain, allowing millers to meet their varied needs for the feed grain.’’
Soft wheat exports from the European Union in the 2022/23 season that started last July reached 26.49 million tonnes by May 7, up 11% compared with 23.87 million a year earlier, data published by the European Commission showed on Wednesday. EU barley exports so far in 2022/23 totalled 5.45 million tonnes, down 19% from 6.72 million a year ago.
European and London Wheat began the day as it has for a while now, in the red. Before turning a corner after lunch and finding support, all be it just a little. Matif ended the day down after its brief upturn, as did London. London Wheat had a quieter day than yesterday. Nov 23 saw 148 lots cross the line between £195.50 and £197.00. May 23 didn’t trade, open interest still stands at 5 lots. July had a market as it has done for some time but was untraded. There were some late trades going through on May 24 @ 204.50, only 10 lots at 75p off yesterday sett. Nov 24 was the only month to finish up and traded @ 200 all day which is 50p above last night’s sett.
Reminder there is a USDA Supply and Demand report on Friday at 5pm UK time.
