EU wheat eases from 3-week top as Chicago rally stalls
PARIS, Sept 5 (Reuters) -Euronext wheat futures turned lower on Thursday after reaching a new three-week peak as a short-covering rally in Chicago faltered and competition from cheaper Black Sea supplies lingered.
December wheat BL2Z4, the most-active position on Paris-based Euronext, settled 0.9% down at 218.50 euros ($242.56) per metric ton, ending a run of seven daily gains.
The contract had earlier climbed to 222.25 euros, just above a previous three-week high set on Wednesday but like a day earlier failed to break clear of chart resistance around 220 euros.
Chicago wheat, corn and soybean futures also eased from multi-week highs, with investors turning their attention towards U.S. jobs data on Friday. GRA/
"There are question marks over the longevity of this rally. Black Sea prices do not seem to be following and will continue to be the barometer for cheap global exports, and if demand wanes, or stays away from the U.S., the market is open for a bout of profit-taking," British merchant ADM Agriculture said in a note.
Russian 12.5% protein wheat was on Thursday quoted at about $215-$217 a ton FOB for September/October Black Sea shipment. Russian 11.5% protein wheat was quoted at about $208-$212 a ton FOB for September and Ukrainian around $210-$216.
"Some are asking if recent Euronext rises can hold in the face of really hard price competition in export markets from the Black Sea," one German trader said.
"Despite worries about poor harvest weather in some Russian regions, Russian export shipments remain very large and are expected to remain big in the rest of September."
Competition from cheaper Black Sea supplies has deflected attention from poor harvests in western Europe.
In France, the rain-hit soft wheat harvest is estimated to have produced 25.98 million tons, down 26% from last year, growers group AGPB said, a figure broadly in line with other estimates putting output at its lowest since the 1980s.
In oilseeds, November rapeseed COMX4 on Euronext ended 1.5% up at 473.50 euros a ton, after touching a one-month high, as Canadian canola RSX4 steadied following losses this week triggered by a Chinese anti-dumping probe.
