Deep sea port Russian 12.5% protein wheat market participants expect buyers to return to the market at $225/mt as market prices fall in an attempt to tempt buyers back. Destination demand has slowed considerably in the last few weeks as buyers balked at surging costs, preferring to dip into their stockpiles.

Prompt-loading was assessed at $228.25/mt, down $6 on the week but still clinging onto its 41-month high.
