• The start of the week brings surprises to the trading markets. While financial analysts were predicting a black Monday, the situation was completely different for cereals.
Even though the fluctuations were again extremely high, with almost EUR 18/t for rapeseed, cereals ultimately closed trading higher.
However, specialists remain reserved and recommend keeping calm in the face of the current movement. At this time of year, the weather remains a decisive factor, and for the moment there are few areas where extreme vigilance is required. Producers in the Black Sea basin are reassured by the conditions at the end of winter, while in Europe, the drought is certainly being monitored, but operators are not pessimistic. The only point of attention is the divergence in the US, with drought in the Plains and a risk of excess water in the east of the country.
On the commercial front, the recent visit of the French foreign minister to Algeria has inaugurated a new stage in relations between the two protagonists. At a time when the international scene remains turbulent, Paris and Algiers are renewing their dialogue, which could ultimately lead to the resumption of French exports to Algeria.
