European wheat futures hit a 10-day low as the easing of a heatwave in western Europe and a quick start to harvesting in France offset weather worries that had pushed prices to a near one-year high last week. December milling wheat, the most active position on Paris-based Euronext, was down 2.00 euros, or 1.1 percent, at 176.00 euros a tonne at the close, just off an earlier low of 175.50 euros. The European Union crop monitoring service lowered its 2017 yield forecast for EU soft wheat, citing hot, dry weather.
