On Friday, October 31, wheat quotes on world exchanges rose — primarily due to active short covering at the end of the month. The December wheat futures contract on the CBOT exchange in Chicago added $3.6 and reached $196.2 per ton. In Paris, on EURONEXT, a similar contract increased in price by $1.4, reaching $222.6 per ton.
At the same time, according to Barva Invest, the domestic market for Ukrainian wheat shows slight price fluctuations in various directions. Sellers remain reserved, not rushing to sell. Demand for wheat with 11.5% protein content in deep-sea ports is quoted in the range of $217–221+ per ton.
Corn also rose in price on the exchanges: the December futures contract on CBOT increased by $0.5, reaching $162.6 per ton. On EURONEXT, the March contract added $1.4 and traded at $216.6 per ton. Support for the corn market continues to be provided by adjacent agricultural segments.
In Ukraine’s domestic market, the situation with corn remains tense: despite some activity from large agricultural holdings, the overall level of supply remains limited. In Black Sea ports, $205–207+ is offered per ton of grain.
