Tridge summary

Wheat prices in Paris saw an increase, limited by the strong euro, continuing the market's recovery from multi-month lows, driven by better international demand, especially in western Europe. Notably, Algeria purchased 600,000 tons of wheat, likely from Black Sea countries, and Korea bought 40,000 tons from the USA. In contrast, rapeseed prices surged, nearly making up for early-week losses, due to a well-supported market amidst poor European supply and heavy imports. The German Raiffeisen Association lowered its rapeseed harvest forecast by 100,000 tons to 3.8 million tons, reflecting a 10% decrease from last year, and concerns about the sunflower harvest due to drought in Russia, Ukraine, and the Eastern Balkans, particularly Romania.
