Ukraine's infrastructure ministry said the UN-brokered Black Sea grain export deal was halted again because Russia had blocked ship registrations for all Ukrainian ports. The halt stops registered vessels from moving grain under the agreement.
A halt to the main grain export corridor removes a large share of Ukrainian corn and wheat supply from the market, which pushes prices and freight rates higher.
After 323 past bullish geopolitics events, Corn moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (57% higher; middle half -1.5% to +2.9%), and +0.9% over 20.
After 361 past bullish geopolitics events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.7% over 5 sessions (58% higher; middle half -1.4% to +3.7%), and +1.3% over 20.
