  • No huge changes over the last 7 days, with market levels continuing to hover around the same mark.

  • Concern over South American crops seems to have eased a little with plantings well under way.

  • All things considered soya is currently good value.

 

  • The rapemeal market seems to be following soya fundamentals at the moment.

  • Levels may dip again once US soya arrives in February but for now it seems the bottom has been hit on the nearby.

  • Domestic product remains most competitive with imported material unable to compete.


  • Currently the market seems to be a bit stuck with no real direction.

  • Demand has reduced off the back of a bearish undertone, with shippers not having seen the uptake they would have expected.

  • Should Argentina have a big crop in 2025, there is potential for downward pressure.


  • No huge changes from last week with the US having now completed harvest.

  • The market is going to be relatively quiet  in the next week or so due to the US Thanksgiving celebrations.

  • River levels are good off the back of recent rains and line ups are moving well in the Gulf.

  • US politics could affect market levels in the coming months as the Trump administration moves in with potential new tariffs.

  • The market is likely to find support, but there will be a lid on how much it can go up by.

  • Overall distillers don’t look as competitive as they have been.


  • The market remains dormant with very little activity.

  • British Sugar have withdrawn their first winter offer and prices have increased around £2/T.

  • That being said there’s plenty of material available with no worries of a shortage.


  • Wheat markets closed up last week on the back of heightened tensions between Ukraine and Russia.

  • The first guide on  next year’s wheat planting seems to indicate strong intentions this season.

  • The reports put wheat plantings up 5% y-o-y, but still a long way below the 5  year average.

  • French planting has increased rapidly, now 90% planted and they are expected to plant an extra 1 million hectares of wheat this winter.

  • Ukraine is also up 400KMT hectares y-o-y.

  • US winter wheat is developing well and the favourable weather there could help keep a lid on prices.

  • With an uncertain market on the nearby, caution would be advised when considering wheat, however barley is becoming increasingly difficult to source.


​And finally, totally irrelevant but quite interesting facts of the week…….

Being born in September increases your chances of getting into Oxford or Cambridge by 12% and from 1994 to 2000, Manhattan’s Twins restaurant was staffed entirely by identical twins.
