Food wheat

 

Market trends 

     According to the results of the current day on the stock markets there is a decrease in demand for food wheat. At the same time, high demand for grain against the background of low supply prevents a sharp decline in prices and continues to maintain them at a fairly high level.

     Processing companies, despite the low number of grain offers, preferred not to raise prices, and in some cases even reduced their maximum marks. Thus, today the demand prices on the terms of delivery of CPT-enterprise are announced not higher than 6500 UAH/ton, the maximum marks have decreased by an average of 50–100 UAH/ton.

     Currency prices in ports under the influence of relevant trends in the foreign market decreased by 1–2 USD/ton, CPT port, and amounted to 200–207 USD/ton.

     Hryvnia prices for food wheat in ports decreased on average by 50–100 UAH/ton, which was greatly facilitated by the currency factor, and are in the range of 6450–6600 UAH/ton, CPT port.

 

Forecasts 

  • Factors influencing the development of price dynamics are quite ambiguous. The oil market, which for a certain period shows downward trends, has a corresponding effect on commodity markets. On the other hand, unfavorable weather conditions (Ukraine, Russia, EU countries) contribute to the strengthening of wheat prices for the new harvest.

Market trends           

     In the feed wheat market there is a decrease in foreign exchange demand prices.
