Ukrainian seaports shipped 5.49 million tonnes of grain in August 2020, double the prior month. Wheat shipments tripled to 4.08 million tonnes, while barley rose 30.6% and corn fell 27%.
Faster Ukrainian wheat and barley shipments add export supply and ease competition for buyers, which is mildly bearish for Black Sea-linked grain prices.
After 375 past bearish trade events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -2.0% to +1.1%), and -0.1% over 20.
Not enough comparable past events yet for a historical read.
After 729 past bullish trade events, Corn moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (56% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.8%), and +0.5% over 20.
