In addition, the market continues to monitor favorable weather conditions for the American harvest. The Commodity Weather Group consultancy reported that the rains forecast for parts of the region should benefit crop development in the coming weeks.

Corn

Corn futures contracts ended the session with a slight appreciation on the Chicago Stock Exchange, in a market supported by positive figures for American exports. The contract for delivery in July advanced 0.22% and closed at US$4.6325 per bushel.

According to analysis by Agrinvest, corn rose sharply throughout the morning, driven by weekly export sales data from the United States, which surprised the market.

Despite this, the pace of appreciation lost strength throughout the trading session. According to the consultancy, the market continues to monitor the increased competitiveness of other exporting sources, mainly Argentina, which is beginning to gain space in international trade.

In addition, a possible resolution to the conflicts in the Middle East is also seen as a bearish factor for the cereal market in the short term, reducing part of the support for international prices.

Wheat

Wheat futures contracts ended this Friday's session falling on the Chicago Stock Exchange. July maturity fell 0.19% and closed at US$6.4625 per bushel.

According to Granar's analysis, the American wheat market ended the day in the negative, despite Chicago still accumulating gains in weekly performance. In the Kansas market, the balance of the week was losses.

According to the consultancy, the pressure on prices is linked to the advance of the winter wheat harvest in the United States, which has already begun in the southern regions of the country. The increase in supply at the beginning of the harvest contributes to limiting upward movements in prices.
