International

• With the US boards shut down and many out of the office, it was a quiet night globally.  Egypt’s GASC tender saw three boats of Russian bought at  ~US$275/t C&F (including GASC costings, a bit under ten bucks implied).  There was one French offer in the mix, about ten dollars out of the money – pretty much as expected with the recent weakness in Black Sea markets.

Australia

• Australian harvest continues to push along with impressive wheat yields coming across the east coast.
• Local markets were off $3-4/t yesterday on wheat after the global break, with canola and barley seeing limited change.
• NSW receival sites are continuing to fill up quickly with the large volumes coming in and the focus is shifting more towards the export program execution.
• Aussie wheat remains competitive into ASEAN homes, despite the recent (small) weakness in the Black Sea region markets, and it’s mostly a question of how capacity flows will work.
• Weather maps remain mild through the next week, and should see a good share of harvest finish up.
