The latest April USDA WASDE was broadly supportive for wheat and corn, with a marginal easing of global soybean supply and demand. However, while the soybean picture is for marginally eased global supplies, this is against a backdrop of minimal US stocks.

The USDA, in its Wasde crop report yesterday, highlighted the dent to the EU’s wheat export fortunes from strengthened competition from Russia, whose strong 2023 harvest and low prices have enabled “unabated shipments”.

Highlights:

• Rapeseed - Crude oil, weather, politics stir up price volatility

• Crop Watch - Europe’s weather to turn drier?
