The EU's MARS monitoring cut its July yield estimates by 0.5% for cereals after a June heatwave, with wheat down 1%. Spain's wheat yields are seen 27% below last year, while maize is still expected 0.4% higher than the prior month.
Lower European yield estimates tighten the EU crop outlook slightly, a modestly supportive factor for wheat and corn prices.
