South African agricultural commodity markets were again under pressure this week, owing to a combination of factors with key ones being the prospects of large grains and oilseeds supplies, selling pressure, as well as a progressively stronger Rand against the US Dollar.
Notable losses were on the white maize market, which fell an average of 4% compared to the previous week’s levels. Moreover, we believe that this bearish price trend on grains and oilseeds could prevail over the coming months, at least until July 2017.
