USDA cut its 2020/21 Ukrainian corn export forecast by 1 MMT because shipments are slow, and raised Russian wheat exports by 0.5 MMT on more competitive domestic prices. Barley exports were raised for Ukraine and cut for Kazakhstan.
The Black Sea region's total grain export potential was revised down slightly to 101.36 MMT.
A higher Russian wheat export estimate adds supply to a market that is already competitive, which is bearish for wheat prices. The lower corn export figure modestly reduces Black Sea corn supply.
