Food wheat
Market trends
Food wheat prices have risen sharply since Tuesday. This fact was due to the still low number of proposals, which is unusual for this period. At the same time, the demand for grain from both processing enterprises and exporters was quite high.
Depending on the region, processing companies announced purchase prices from 5350 UAH/ton for the 2nd class and from 5250 UAH/ton for the 3rd class. Most often, the increase in prices was not accompanied by an increase in the number of purchases.
In the ports, prices increased significantly during the reporting period. Thus, in small ports the hryvnia prices for grain of the 2nd class were announced in the range of 5750–5950 UAH/ton (+ 50–100 UAH/ton), of the 3rd class – 5650–5900 UAH/ton (+ 100–150 UAH/tons). Currency prices in small ports were in the range of 176–180 USD/ton (+ 2–4 USD/ton) for the 2nd class and 175–179 USD/ton (+ 2–5 USD/ton) for the 3rd class.
Hryvnia prices in deep-sea ports increased on average by 450–500 UAH/ton to 6000–6300 UAH/ton – 2nd class and to 5950–6200 UAH/ton (+50–200 UAH/ton) – 3rd class. The range of currency prices of demand for the 2nd class at the end of the day was 187–200 USD/ton (+ 3–7 USD/ton), 188–196 USD/ton (+ 6 USD/ton) – 3rd class.
