London Wheat Report

Source: FutureSource 

Over the weekend, Putin’s forces continue to push into Ukraine with heavier weaponry being unleashed upon Kharkiv today according to the news channels. Ukrainian and Russian delegation met on the Belarusian border today for talks, not much seems to have been achieved unsurprisingly. Russian banks have been cut off from SWIFT over the weekend and countries all over the western world are cracking on with sanctions against Russia. The Rouble had an absolute hammering when markets opened today while precious metals and ags have rallied significantly overnight. Currently the debate is how long Black Sea exporters are out of business is the major trading point.

 

GASC decided to cancel their latest tender after receiving the lowest offer from French sourced wheat at $389.82/t FOB. An unusual offer of wheat sourced from the US was also submitted but the French offers were $80/t lower to Houston HRW from Cargill. Last year, Egypt imported nearly 70% of its wheat needs from Russia in 2012. Wheat markets continued to find support in both the US and Europe. There are fears that the fighting will not be over quickly and that wheat, grain and oilseed export shipments from Ukraine will face disruption for a longer period than initially expected. Ukraine’s ports are also to stay closed until the Russian invasion ends according to the head of Ukraine’s Maritime Administration. Russian exports now face a raft of issues due to international sanctions which include commodity finance issues after SocGen and Credit Suisse Group halted the finance of commodities trading from Russia. Matif May-22 settled up €25.75 on Friday at €315.50/t. London wheat followed markets higher with May-22 hitting a trading high of £253/t today.

Brent crude was trading up again today, hitting over $100/ba. USDA reported 136kt of new crop beans sold to China with another 120kt of old crop sold to unknown. Beans are finding considerable support by a vegoil market that is panicking, as we saw Malaysian Palm oil make its largest single move higher overnight. Supply concern over a dry Central Brazil which may give another sluggish start to some Safrina. Matif rapeseed pushed higher with May-22 settling up €28.50 on Friday at €755.50/t.
