An Egyptian outlet reports that Black Sea security risks are disrupting shipping and raising transport costs for grain trade. S&P Global estimates Russian wheat exports could reach 32.5 million tonnes against 11.5 million for Ukraine in 2026-27, with Russia seeking Baltic and Caspian routes.
Lower Russian and Ukrainian export volumes and costlier logistics tighten wheat supply to importers, supporting world wheat prices and shifting trade toward EU and Danube routes. The S&P estimate, if current, indicates a sizeable export gap between the two origins.
After 292 past bullish logistics events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.3%), and -0.1% over 20.
