Tunisia buys soft wheat and durum in tender, traders say
Adds volumes purchased and sellers
HAMBURG, Sept 19 (Reuters) -Tunisia's state grains agency is thought to have purchased about 125,000 metric tons of soft wheat and 100,000 tons of durum wheat in an international tender on Thursday, European traders said.
The purchase was in line with the volumes sought in the tender.
Traders reported the following results with volumes in metric tons and prices in dollars per ton, cost and freight (c&f) included:
SOFT WHEAT |
Volume Seller Price |
25,000 ASTON $245.83 |
25,000 CASILLO $246.98 |
25,000 ASTON $245.83 |
25,000 ASTON $246.83 |
25,000 ASTON $247.83 |
DURUM WHEAT |
Volume Seller Price |
25,000 CASILLO $338.68 |
25,000 CASILLO $342.68 |
25,000 EUROAGRICOLA $336.50 |
25,000 CASILLO $346.49 |
The tender called for shipment in different periods in October and November depending on the origin of the wheat supplied.
Reports reflect assessments from traders and further estimates of prices and volumes are still possible later.
Traders had earlier reported a lowest offer at $244 in the soft wheat tender, but Tunisia does not always take the lowest price if conditions attached are regarded as unattractive.
