Wagner’s Yevgeny Prigozhin has resurfaced in Africa. UK government transferred a record £14.3bn to the BOE last month, the largest payment in history to fund bond losses. Panama Canal is struggling for water levels as vessels start queuing up.
USDA crop ratings didn’t do anything too exciting as figures came out within market expectations. Ratings for corn improved, stayed the same for beans and went down again for sprint wheat. So more to come on this we can say for sure.

MARs downgraded average EU 27 yields marginally although this has little input on trade expectations. Matif wheat was trading marginally lower to unchanged for most of the afternoon.
