With European stocks opening lower, and the Thanksgiving Day holiday looming, trade looks like turning quieter for the rest of the week.
Jordan is tendering for 100,000mt wheat. Japan has cancelled it's normal weekly tender, presumably due to the US holiday.
Quality concerns are evident in eastern areas as the Australian harvest progresses. The weather in Argentina also remains a worry.
