Euronext wheat hits three-week high amid weak euro and Saudi purchase
Euronext wheat prices reached a three-week high, driven by a weaker euro and a significant wheat purchase by Saudi Arabia. The December milling wheat contract rose 1.5% to €245.25 per metric ton, marking the third consecutive session of gains. The euro's decline to a 17-month low against the dollar at $1.12 made European grain more competitive in international markets. Additionally, Saudi Arabia's purchase of 683,000 tons of wheat added substantial demand to the market.
Key points
- Euronext wheat prices climbed to a three-week high, supported by a weaker euro and Saudi Arabia's large wheat purchase.
- Reports of a cargo ship sinking in the Black Sea, attributed to Russian drones, highlight ongoing risks to shipping in the region.
- Chicago wheat prices also moved higher during the session, reflecting broader market trends.
