• On Euronext, at the start of the new week, both new and old harvest wheat prices recorded wide variations.
Yesterday's market downturn didn't just affect grain prices. Oil prices fell sharply as soon as negotiations opened, following the announcement by the countries OPEC+ at the end of the week regarding the increase in production starting in June of next year.
Prices for the new September 2025 harvest have reached a new low, falling below EUR 205/t to levels equivalent to those of December 2022 for the same maturity. The downward movement has also extended to subsequent maturities. Crop development conditions in the Black Sea region are reassuring, with rains expected.
The downward trend in wheat prices is also reflected in corn prices. On Euronext, the price for June 2025 is close to the lowest traded level since March 2024. Prices for the new crop in November 2025 have also fallen, falling below EUR 200/t at the close, the lowest level since August last year.
Given the decline in palm oil and soybean prices, yesterday's decline in rapeseed prices appears to have been moderate. The August 2025 maturity fell by EUR 2,75/t on Euronext and is now back below EUR 470/t, with rapeseed oil prices also declining.
