UK feed wheat futures edged higher last week, with the November 2025 contract closing at £179.95 per tonne, up £1.95 from the previous week. The uptick reflects a 1.1% gain, mirroring similar movements in Paris milling wheat and Chicago wheat markets. Despite these gains, market momentum appears to be softening, as indicated by a dip in the relative strength index (RSI), suggesting that while prices are stabilizing, there is no strong upward drive currently shaping the wif price landscape.
Market Overview: Recent Trends in UK Grain Prices
The UK grain market has shown resilience amid global volatility, with feed wheat delivered into East Anglia for November quoted at £176.50 per tonne—a modest weekly increase of £1.00. Bread wheat for October delivery into the North West reached £226.00 per tonne, reflecting steady demand for quality grains.
Market analysts note that while prices remain above key technical levels such as the 20-day moving average, the RSI’s decline from 47 to 40 signals weakening momentum. This suggests traders are cautious despite recent gains.
According to industry experts monitoring wif price dynamics, “The market lacks clear catalysts for a sustained rally,” says one senior analyst at a leading agricultural consultancy firm based in London.
Factors Influencing wif price Stability
Several factors are contributing to current conditions:
- Global Supply and Demand: International markets continue to influence domestic prices, with both Paris and Chicago futures tracking closely behind UK movements.
