CEREAL markets have remained unchanged as a lot of time is being spent trying to match supply and demand with regard to quality, not quantity. The crop is very variable so sellers need to be aware of what they have to sell and target it on the correct market.

Oilseed prices have also been quiet, but world soya markets seem to be on a slow drift down unless we have some dramatic effect from weather forecasts in South America.
