Mixed Performances Across Grain Prices on the Commodities Exchange Market

On the Exchange last week, we observed mixed performances across prices of grain commodities. Soybean topped the laggard chart, plunging 3.39% while maize topped the gainers’ chart, gaining 2.31%. The ACI increased by 0.78% while the AEI remained unchanged w-o-w.

The kick-off in wheat harvest across the Northern Hemisphere has impacted downward pressure on the price of wheat. The decline in wheat price may offer some relief to global consumers who face rapidly increasing living costs and growing food insecurity. However, the decline is not sure to last due to unfavorable weather conditions across Europe and South America.
