In the Paraguayan corn market, the difference is still US$ 10/ton between seller and buyer, according to information released by TF Agroeconomic. Both sellers and buyers have concerns about prices, as there is a difference between what they want. This disagreement has been slowing the market for several days, and there are no signs of changes in current prices, which fall between a range of values. As a result, the market is likely to remain sluggish in the coming days.
“Pricing questions arise on both sides of the market, sellers seeking 180.00 U$D/MT FAS Assunção and buyers targeting 170.00 U$D/MT, we have already seen this gap for several days, causing the market to slow down . Nothing tells us that the price would rise to current levels, which are between 170.00 – 172.00 dollars per ton. If our logic holds, we will see more days of a very slow market”, he adds.
