Older contracts are being loaded, but there is hesitancy among sellers for new closings. Local mills are buying selectively at around 350 euros per ton for durum wheat, with prices remaining unchanged on the Foggia list. Algeria bought between 400-500,000 tons of durum wheat at prices of 435 to 470 dollars per ton, while in the Chicago Stock Exchange, soft wheat recorded a bullish breakout due to strong new sales to China. In France, there was an upward reaction, but it was not as significant as in Chicago.
