More warnings of war in Niger as France evacuates citizens. Banks profits are up with HSBC posting pre-tax profit of $21.7bn (£16.9bn) for the first six months this year, compared to $9.2bn a year earlier. New UK alcohol duty regime kicks in today based on alcohol content with a new UK Treasury inspired ‘common-sense’ principles approach. Don’t think UK Treasury and ‘common-sense’ principles can be put into the same sentence, let’s be honest. And oh what a spectacle in the Ashes and farewell to Broady who bowed out brilliantly.
US crop conditions report came in within trade’s estimates with both corn and soybeans being downgraded.

Wheat markets pushed down further again in today’s trade. Russian Black Sea out loading continues at pace with substantial volumes going through, corridor or no corridor. This is putting pressure on EU markets, not being helped by the Kremlin announcing export trade this season could amount to 60Mmt to counteract the Ukrainian disruptions. Tunisia were in today for 125kt Aug-Sept shipment. Chicago wheat kicked off the day trading around unchanged but pushed further down throughout the day, with Sep-23 trading down 15 cents at time of writing. Matif was also under pressure, although not pushing lower too much, with trading on Sep-23 sitting around the €238 level into the close. London wheat was also pushing lower with Nov-23 hitting a trading low of £195 before sitting in the £196 range.
Oilseed complex was supported today. Matif rapeseed was also trading unchanged to up. Argentine corn dollar program appears to be taking off with a reported 2.5Mmt out already. Running until the end of August, incentive is there for the farmer and should see a fair chunk moved.
