Rabobank raised its wheat price forecasts over concerns that the UN-brokered Ukraine grain export deal, which lapses in November, could crumble. Russia's top-exporter harvest is reported at a record 100 million tonnes, but the bank flagged risks of further escalation.
It also warned of recession risk weighing on commodity demand.
Expected disruption to Black Sea exports and a possible deal lapse would tighten world wheat supply and lift wheat prices.
