WITH lack of news, cereal markets have more or less remained unchanged, with movements following currency. US markets have generally been drifting off as a recent sale by Australia to Egypt demonstrates there are a number of suppliers of wheat.
Oilseed rape markets have improved on the back of much stronger American soya markets. The US markets are a little nervous as some of the rise has been due to low yields on early crops and later crops could well be better.
