European feeds-Soymeal eases on US harvest pressure

Published Updated

"The market trends lower as bearish sentiment and fundamentals prevail at the moment. That weaker trend discourages many buyers, waiting for the market to hit a solid bottom," one broker said.

South American soymeal was offered between $3 a tonne down and $1 up from Monday, following the trend in CBOT soymeal futures. Buyers were not prepared to step into a falling market and no deals were seen.

EU rapemeal was offered between 1 euro per tonne higher and 2 euros lower, pressured by the weaker trend in soymeal, while a strong dollar, which underpins euro-priced products, limited losses.
