FOLLOWING Brussels' moves to control wheat exports, values have stopped rising, but remain steady. They will, however, remain volatile as markets react to both political and weather inputs.
Barley prices have risen as end users and exporters look for barley and it was basically too cheap compared to wheat.
Oilseed prices have been volatile but within a small range. It appears that US markets have settled down on a supply and demand balance but will react to US soya harvest estimates and planting intentions in South America.
