Markets, across the board, plunged lower in today’s trade with investment fund selling the likely culprit. Sharp declines in crude oil and equities perhaps encouraging speculators to liquidate their bullish positions they had built up in ags in recent months.
Wheat seemed to be the biggest loser of the day with improved weather in the US and increased crop forecasts coming out of Europe.
Germany’s association of farm cooperatives have increased their forecast for both wheat and rapeseed production in their latest estimate. Their 2021 German wheat forecast is seen at 22.66 MMT, up marginally from their April forecast but 2.4% higher YoY. Their 2021 rapeseed forecast is seen at 3.62 MMT, up from 3.57 MMT in April, but 3.1% higher than last year. Recent rains have been positive for crops but colder temps has meant harvest is likely to be 2 weeks behind schedule. Germany is the EU’s largest rapeseed producer and second largest wheat producer behind France.
London wheat May21 saw another 271 lots of original tenders today which largely takes care of the OI. This is a big chunk of wheat and it is a bit of a surprise to this additional volume thrown at the board. This makes one think that there could be a bit more old crop wheat around than the trade was expecting.
