APK-Inform reports that Ukrainian seaports exported 54% more major grains in 2019 than in 2018. Corn exports rose 67% to 31.91 million tonnes, wheat rose 40% to 19.96 million tonnes, and barley rose 38% to 4.32 million tonnes.
Strong Ukrainian port volumes add supply to Black Sea export markets, which is mildly bearish for corn, wheat and barley prices. The figures are a backward-looking annual tally, so the price impact is limited.
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 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.
