London Wheat Report
Source: FutureSource
With this morning’s news that the last ship left Ukraine today under the current grain corridor deal which ends tomorrow and no extension had been agreed, surely the global wheat markets rallied? London up £15 and Matif 20 Euros?… NO. Global wheat markets took no notice of the unrenewed grain deal and were in the red in the AM. Much of the same news (bar the grain corridor chat) left the markets continuing in the downward motion seen of late. Later in the day, Turkey confirmed the grain deal had been agreed for a further 2 months, the markets saw further loses. Erdogan said “The Black Sea grain corridor deal has been extended by two months with the efforts of Turkey,” he said in his televised speech, also thanked the Russian and Ukrainian leaders and U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres for their help.
Ukraine, a traditional grower of winter wheat, is likely to sow a record 285,000 hectares of spring wheat in 2023, the Ukrainian agriculture ministry said on Wednesday. Farmers have already sown 247,000 hectares of the commodity, it said in a statement. The ministry gave no comparative data for 2022 but said that Ukraine sowed 160,200 hectares of spring wheat in 2021.
Reuters reported today, Farm office FranceAgriMer on Wednesday lowered its forecast of French soft wheat exports outside the European Union in the 2022/23 season to 10.30 million tonnes from 10.40 million projected in April. In a monthly supply and demand outlook for major cereal crops, the office also trimmed its forecast of 2022/23 French soft wheat exports within the 27-member bloc to 6.39 million tonnes from 6.43 million previously. It increased its projection of French soft wheat stocks at the end of the season on June 30 to 2.72 million tonnes from 2.61 million projected last month.
Special mention for Rapeseed Aug which broke into the 300’s this afternoon. Rapeseed has been aggressively sold off recently and breaking below 400 was another big step. Aug23 traded down as low as 392.75 on today’s session.
London had a quiet start and didn’t really take off until lunchtime. Nov 23 traded down all day, with the HOD 35p under yesterday’s sett. Volumes were not too bad with 492 crossing the line between 197 and 190. £190 LOD is a huge £7.35 down on ydays Sett. £166.30 is the November 23 contract low, can we get there? May 24 traded down all day between £204 and £199.50. One thing to bear in mind is London wheat is boarding on the ‘’oversold’’ territory with an RSI of 32.
