Euronext Commodities Exchange

• After four days without trading, Euronext reopens its doors on Tuesday, and the following days are forecast to be more than dynamic.

Donald Trump's announcements no longer have the same weight as a few weeks ago, but they remain in the spotlight. All countries are now trying to adapt to the general turmoil that dictates the law on the international stage, with the statements from the White House causing stronger reactions in the energy markets than in those of cereals. After the US threats to focus on Iranian energy facilities in the coming hours, oil is resuming its upward trend.

Although it has been pushed into the background, the conflict in Ukraine also continues to influence MARKETSThe shipwreck this weekend of a ship carrying wheat between Rostov-on-Don and Port Kavkaz has brought the concerns of grain market operators back to the forefront.

On the ground in France, growing conditions remain good, with 84% of wheat considered in good to excellent condition, compared to an average of 80% in recent years. The situation is similar for winter barley, at 81%, and spring barley, at 94%.

Beyond geopolitical issues, operators have ignored the further deterioration in wheat growing conditions. The decline continues, with only 35% of the areas considered in good to excellent condition, a level significantly lower than that observed in recent years. The lack of precipitation remains a penalizing factor and, although some rains are announced, they remain too sporadic to calm the markets.

This week will also be marked by the publication of monthly report of the USDA on Thursday, April 9, which will allow an update of the world balance sheets.
