EU wheat drifts lower as euro rebounds, Chicago rally stalls
PARIS, Nov 7 (Reuters) -Euronext wheat eased on Thursday to trade near a two-month low as the euro rebounded against the dollar and Chicago grain futures consolidated, with attention shifting away from Donald Trump's U.S. election win.
December wheat BL2Z4 on Paris-based Euronext settled 0.6% down at 215.25 euros ($232.49) per metric ton to move back towards Tuesday's low of 212.25 euros.

Investors were unwinding bets on a win for Trump, whose policies are seen likely to push the dollar higher, and turning their attention to a U.S. interest rate decision later on Thursday and U.S. government crop forecasts on Friday.

In Europe, traders reported that importers in Morocco had booked at least several cargoes of European Union wheat.
At the same time, ongoing Black Sea exports and the arrival of southern hemisphere harvests were keeping a lid on western European prices.
“EU export prospects have improved following the moves down by Euronext and Russia's export restrictions which are opening up possibilities for new sales to important North African customers, especially Morocco,” one German trader said.
“But the euro is firming today and Russian prices still look very cheap, so there is still a way to go to EU price competitiveness.”
Russian 12.5% protein December shipment wheat was on Thursday well under west EU prices at $230 to $233 a ton FOB.
"Overall, cheap wheat continues to trade in significant volumes," British merchant Frontier Agriculture said in a note. "It's currently very hard to see where the next significant rally is coming from."
In Germany, wheat exporters were also facing competition from the domestic market, where prices were sometimes more attractive, while farmers were keener to sell rapeseed after a rally in the oilseed, the German trader added.
February rapeseed COMG5 on Euronext settled up 1.9% at 532.75 euros per ton, tracking broad strength in oilseed markets. It earlier set a contract high at 533.75 euros that marked a highest front-month price since March 2023.
