EU wheat hits new 19-month lows after CBOT fall, low Egypt offer

European wheat extended its losses on Tuesday to hit a new 19-month low, pressured by low offers at Egypt's import tender with uncertainty prevailing on what to expect from a meeting to discuss the Black Sea grain export corridor on Wednesday.

Prices were also weakened by a sharp fall on the Chicago Board of Trade on Monday when Euronext was closed due to a public holiday in parts of Europe, traders said. GRA/
