Dry Bulk,
Wheat prices continued to find support to kick off the first week of December, as funds continued to cover the large shortages as the year draws to a close. Funds have been directed so as to avoid being too strongly positioned either way into the holidays.
China's wheat export cancellation added pressure to global wheat values but the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) has announced that China have purchased 440 000 t of US soft red winter wheat which helped give a lift to global wheat prices.
Russian wheat bids remained supported on an FOB basis, with slower exports in November due to winter storms disrupting shipments.
At present the market has been predicted to turn its attention to the final World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report of 2023, with all eyes pointed firmly towards South American weather conditions and the demand side of the picture.
