Russia's agricultural sector faces rising costs, record inflation and sanctions-related financing constraints. USDA forecasts cite 2025 Russian declines of 27% for corn, 12% for oats and 11% for wheat.
Smaller Russian oat and grain crops tighten Black Sea export availability, supporting global feed grain prices.
After 174 past bullish events of any kind, Oats moved a median -1.0% over 5 sessions (40% higher; middle half -3.5% to +2.4%), and -1.1% over 20.
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.
