MOSCOW, May 28 (Reuters) - Rain in the Russian south lessened the pressure on wheat prices last week but new concerns have arisen over the crop in Siberia and the Urals, where precipitation has been scarce, analysts said on Monday.
"Rains in the South of Russia eased tension there last week, although dryness remains in a vast area of Voronezh, Volgograd, Saratov, Samara, Lipetsk, Tambov and Penza," The Institute for Agriculture Market Studies (IKAR) said in a note.
