On January 29, 2024, wheat, corn, and soybean futures on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) hit their lowest levels in a week, two years, and a week respectively, due to factors such as lower crude oil prices, a stronger U.S. dollar, and improved South American harvest prospects. Uncertainty surrounds China's demand for these commodities amidst its property crisis. Russian wheat export prices are also falling due to an oversupply in the Black Sea region, despite an increase in export volumes. The French grain market is similarly experiencing a decline.
