After the previous growth at the end of March, the trend reversal occurred on the Russian grain market.
In particular, according to the SovEcon Analytical Agency, the price of wheat decreased:
- 3 classes - for 775 rubles, up to 17,070 rubles / ton
- 4 classes - for 725 rubles, up to 16,900 rubles / ton.
The publication "Kommersant" calls the temporary strengthening of the ruble the main factor in reducing the price tag. In addition, some large grain exporters have already purchased the required volumes before the end of the season.
In turn, experts do not see fundamental prerequisites for a further significant reduction in wheat prices on the domestic market of the Russian Federation so far.
In addition, the average purchase prices of wheat with 12.5% protein in deep-water ports during the reporting period decreased from 19,500 - 20 thousand rubles to 18 - 19 thousand rubles / ton, while the wheat export duty increased by 9.1 dollar - up to 96.1 dollars/ton.
