Talks between Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi have not produced a new safe-shipping agreement for the Black Sea, and the wheat market has reacted little so far. Traders are focused on Argentine wheat offered at $237–243/ton FOB, about $30/ton below West European wheat, ahead of Algeria's tender for roughly 700,000 tons.
The December Euronext wheat contract fell 1.6% on November 12 to €232.50/ton after a four-day rally.
Cheaper Argentine supply and a partial rerouting of Russian and Ukrainian wheat through the Baltic and Romania limit the price impact of the Black Sea shipping stalemate. European wheat becomes less competitive in export markets, which keeps pressure on wheat prices.
