18:48 DJ MARKET COMMENT: EU Wheat Ends Slightly Up, Shrugging Off USDA
Testo: 1736 GMT [Dow Jones] EU wheat futures settle slightly higher, maintaining earlier gains after the USDA report. Openfield notes the new, late publication leaves little time for traders to digest the numbers and market reaction before the close. The grain merchant adds that markets had a negative tone this week, mainly due to better weather in the US, disappointing weekly export figures for both wheat and corn, funds being net sellers and little buying interest for the cheapest US wheat. March Paris milling wheat settles up EUR0.75, or 0.3%, at EUR245.75/ton.
