UK trades/views: nearby rape still flavour of the month

Following on from yesterday's theme, nearby rapemeal remains supported with ongoing availability issues forcing dealers & consumers into the market.

Spot Humber made up to £205 yesterday for promt collection. Spot Liverpool offers are non-existant. Erith fixings today are offered at £194, £2 up on yesterday's traded levels.

With consumers generally only having scant coverage for summer months (and May/July being offered at substantial discounts) there has been good interest in straight May material, which is now less than four weeks away.

Best offer for straight May on it's own in Liverpool today is £177, Humber £175 and Erith £172.

June onwards remains relatively friendless at the moment.
