EU grains closed mostly lower on the day but mixed over the week ending 10 March 2017. London wheat rose on the week on weaker sterling and tight old-crop supply, while Paris wheat and rapeseed fell.
The HGCA reported a 5% drop in English and Welsh wheat area and a 1% fall in winter oilseed rape.
Tight old-crop UK wheat supply and a weaker pound support London wheat prices, while lower winter plantings point to tighter supply ahead. Paris prices are weighed down by the broader EU market.
