With the value of the rouble at record lows, food prices in Russia are under inflationary pressure. As such, it was reported on Monday that the Russian ministry for agriculture is considering food export restrictions or tariffs to keep food in the country and ease inflationary pressure.The news helped European wheat futures rally during Monday’s trade, while maize and rapeseed held firm. In the US, wheat prices also rallied, while maize was generally static. International markets remain nervous as oil continues to hover around the $30/barrel mark.
