CAIRO- The lowest offer for wheat presented at Egyptian state grain buyer GASC's international purchase tender on Wednesday was $241.26 a tonne for 60,000 tonnes of Romanian wheat for shipment on Feb. 1-10 free on board (FOB), traders said.

The offer was presented by ADM. Results are expected later on Wednesday.

"The Black Sea region continues to dominate the Egyptian market despite expectations that Russia is selling out," one European trader said.

"But the cheapest Russian FOB offer was $5.7 higher than the cheapest Russian price paid by Egypt last week so Russian prices are moving up."
