• After the consolidation observed at the end of last week, grain prices are stabilizing.
The international market is animated during this period by two main directions represented by the weather and the geopolitical situation.
As for the weather conditions in Europe, the return of dry weather in France is reassuring and should allow agricultural work to resume in the coming days. However, certain areas on the Atlantic coast will not have this opportunity, given the heavy rainfall in recent days.
On the geopolitical front, on the fourth anniversary of the escalation of the conflict, negotiations on a peace plan in Ukraine remain too vague to be taken seriously. However, Ukrainian agriculture is managing to maintain production levels close to historical averages, while exports are struggling to recover. Another point of tension is Iran, where Donald Trump is raising doubts about a possible military intervention. Finally, in Mexico, the situation is deteriorating, reigniting international tensions and affecting all markets.
