Most global grain and oilseed futures fell on Sept. 20, 2021, as US maize and soybean harvests advanced, crude oil dropped, and the US dollar strengthened.
Nov-21 UK feed wheat fell GBP 1.50 to GBP 188.80/t and Nov-21 Paris rapeseed fell EUR 1.50 to EUR 599.25/t. US maize harvest reached 10% complete.
Seasonal harvest pressure and a firmer dollar are removing risk premium from grain and oilseed prices in the short term. Low global stocks and La Niña uncertainty for South America still support prices longer term.
