Ukrainian seaports shipped 3.28 million tonnes of grain in May 2021, down 4.5% month on month. Wheat shipments rose to 1.01 million tonnes, while corn fell 20% to 2.19 million tonnes.
Corn export volumes fell sharply, which slightly eases export competition for corn buyers. The wheat increase is modest and has limited effect on global prices.
After 683 past bearish trade events, Corn moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.6%), and +0.3% over 20.
After 206 past neutral trade events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (53% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.6%), and +0.5% over 20.
