# Black Sea wheat higher; Russia-Ukraine tensions remain on the agenda | The Sizov Report blog

> Russian wheat prices in deep-sea ports rose $3 to $247/mt FOB, the first increase since the early-March sell-off. The rise followed higher global benchmarks, supported by dry weather in North American spring wheat areas and cold in the Midwest. Analysts say a major escalation of Russia-Ukraine tensions is unlikely but would be bullish if it reached 2014 levels.

## Why it matters

Weather-driven gains in global wheat benchmarks lift Black Sea offers, which raises the cost of wheat for feed use. Continued dryness in key spring wheat regions would support prices further.
