CEREAL markets seem to be entering that period of masterly inactivity, with old crop more or less done and dusted and new crop prices slowly drifting, as we start Northern Hemisphere harvests.
A similar situation applies with oilseeds as most crops look good and Europe is estimated to have 1m tonnes more than last year, so markets tend to be a little lower.
Thursday's prices
