European wheat prices rose 0.9% on Friday to €225 per tonne as a weaker euro improved the competitiveness of EU grain in global markets. Traders also monitored Black Sea supply conditions and strong French export shipments, while improving production prospects and weaker import demand were cited as limits to further gains.
A weaker euro can make EU wheat more attractive to overseas buyers, supporting export demand and prices. Weak import demand and better production prospects could offset some of that support.
