Inland Transportation - The market for inland wheat transportation has shifted this week, with increased grain outflow from storage entities easing previous supply tightness, leading to a rise in market circulation [1] - Wheat prices are under pressure due to enhanced selling intentions from storage entities and weak downstream demand, as feed enterprises show low purchasing enthusiasm for wheat due to the widening price gap with new season corn [1] - Inland shipping rates have seen a slight increase, with some regions experiencing a rise of 3-5 yuan/ton due to temporary tightness in shipping capacity caused by maintenance at sluices and increased grain outflow [1] Coastal Transportation - The coastal grain transportation market from the Suwan region to southern sales areas is characterized by stable cargo volume and price adjustments, with limited increases in wheat supply to southern regions [3] - Shipping rates for coastal transportation have slightly decreased, with rates from Anning Port to Guangdong and Fujian dropping by 2-3 yuan/ton, while overall demand for wheat remains subdued due to sufficient corn supply and competitive pricing [3] - The fluctuation in shipping rates is primarily driven by changes in shipping capacity, with improved port efficiency in northern ports alleviating congestion and contributing to the decline in shipping rates [3] Market Outlook - The inland grain shipping market is expected to remain stable in the short term, supported by the ongoing autumn grain harvest, but attention should be paid to sluice passage efficiency and wheat outflow pace [2] - Coastal shipping rates are anticipated to continue their downward trend as northern port operations improve, while container shipping rates are stabilizing after rapid increases, with future trends dependent on the balance of supply and actual shipping demand [4]
