EU wheat ends week lower in wake of US markets
PARIS/HAMBURG, Nov 1 (Reuters) -European wheat fell in late trade on Friday following a fall on U.S. markets while traders were still assessing the results of Algeria's tender during which it is believed to have bought some 600,000 metric tons of the cereal.
Benchmark December milling wheat BL2Z4 on Paris-based Euronext, closed 0.6% lower at 216.75 euros a metric ton.
By the same time the most traded wheat futures contract Wv1 on the Chicago Board of Trade was also 0.6% lower at $5.70-1/2 a bushel.
Euronext wheat had been trading sideways earlier in the session with traders expressing mixed feelings about Algeria's tender.
"The assessment of the Algerian tender purchase has been swinging around from negative to perhaps marginally positive," one German trader said.
On the negative side was that French wheat appeared to have been excluded from the tender from a second time in apparent fallout from renewed diplomatic tensions between Algiers and Paris.
A positive sign was that Russian wheat did not sweep up the business, seemingly because of the unofficial minimum Russian export price.
Traders suspected that much of Algeria’s wheat would be sourced from the Black Sea region, though the grain can be supplied from optional origins. Expected origins included Romania and Bulgaria, Ukraine, some relatively small volumes of Russian and possibly new crop Argentine wheat.
"Russian wheat would have been expected to grab just about all the Algerian business if they had offered current realistic market prices but Russian exporters seem to have respected the unspoken orders of their government not to win the tender with cheap prices," another German trader said.
"This would be positive for EU export prospects in the near future."
