Spot rates for corn and soybeans in the U.S. Midwest were mostly stable or higher on Tuesday as harvests of both crops were nearly complete and offers were up, brokers said.

The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) has reduced the recommended cod catch quota in the North Sea by 20%, reducing it to 15.5 thousand tons for 2025. Earlier, in June, the council recommended a catch volume of 19.3 thousand tons. This decision concerns three fishing zones: the Northwest, South and Scandinavian seas. In 2023, the cod catch amounted to 21.2 thousand tons. The main players in this market are the United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark and Germany. The reason for the reduction in recommendations is errors in the calculations; previous models assumed a faster decline in natural mortality of the population. Cod catch quotas are being reduced in all areas.

The European Union's soybean imports for the 2024/25 season, which began in July, reached 4.43 million tonnes as of November 10, up 7% from 4.15 million tonnes a year earlier.
