Downward revisions to the EU crop have supported a slight recovery in global wheat markets, however, bearish pressure remains from Black Sea exports, harvest pressure and a favourable outlook for maize.

Dried native prices for November remain at €225/t- 230/t for wheat with barley at €210-215/t

US maize crop conditions remain in very good condition with 65% rated “good” compared to 53% at this stage in 2023.

Paris rapeseed has seen significant volatility this week, following news that China will open an investigation into dumping of Canadian oilseed rape (Financial Times). However, despite daily movement of €20/t, markets have closed at a similar range of €470/t due to a tight supply balance according to the AHDB.

FOB Creil malting barley closed at €240/t on Thursday, August 29th, with the rolling average for Boortmalt suppliers now at €259.25/t. Two more weeks are left in the average price model.
