German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said he expects an agreement to restart grain exports from Ukraine and Russia via the Black Sea within weeks. He stressed the need to keep grain flowing to Global South countries.
A European Parliament debate on Black Sea shipping security was also referenced.
Expectations of a restart could ease the export disruption that has supported wheat and corn prices, but no agreement has yet been signed, so the price impact is limited for now.
After 80 past bearish geopolitics events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.4% over 5 sessions (44% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.9%), and -0.5% over 20.
After 87 past bearish geopolitics events, Corn moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.5% to +2.1%), and +0.3% over 20.
