Bread wheat up, feed falls HGCA

  • Delivered UK cereal prices ended last week mixed, with feed wheat prices falling about 50p and bread quality wheat prices gaining 2/t.
  • Demand for delivered cereals continues to focus on inland consumers, rather than for the export market, although to a lesser extent than last week.
  • Traders reported that the slowdown in ex-farm grain being made available is the primary cause of strengthening cereal prices and could reflect lower farm stock levels than previously thought, a reluctance to sell at these levels, or a combination of the two.
  • The Euro fell around 4¢ against the Pound last week, putting pressure on delivered port prices. However, this pressure was largely offset by the shortage of grain being made available.
