- The UK continues to see little discussion on FB while FW remains steady with merchant shorts driving the market mainly, despite expectations that consumers still have tonnage to buy for the remainder of the season. Consumers continue to take a risk-off back to back approach for new crop business as a rule with sporadic business taking place as a result.
