In Paris, wheat prices were again slightly firmer yesterday. For the March date, which is about to expire, 2.25 euros/tonne went up to 274 euros/tonne. Due to a public holiday in the USA, the stock exchange boards stood still yesterday. The futures on the eCBoT are currently trading with a green sign. Above all, the escalating Russia/Ukraine conflict is driving the bulls. The news that Russian soldiers had marched into eastern Ukraine caused a mixed mood on the stock market yesterday. Meanwhile, export prices in Russia continue to fall. ICAR reports that the ton is currently at $312 US dollars. In the previous week, the grain was still traded at $ 318 US dollars. Export volumes have also recently lost significant momentum and are below the previous year's level.
