Tridge summary

UK feed wheat futures have seen a decrease, following the lead of the Paris and Chicago wheat markets, which are under pressure from spill over weakness from maize and soyabeans, and lacklustre export demand due to strong global competition. Domestic market factors also contribute to the decline. Arguments have been raised about the feasibility of Russia's grain export forecasts due to logistical and insurance issues. In Argentina, improved weather is impacting the oilseeds market, and while widespread rains are expected to benefit crop production, ongoing drought conditions and the possibility of further revisions to crop estimates suggest a tightening of the global supply. Despite these challenges, Brazil is projected to see a record maize and soyabean harvest in 2023, which could have implications for the market.
