> Black Sea grain markets were little changed early Monday after Ukrainian and Russian navies clashed in the Azov Sea and the Kerch Strait was blocked. Several Ukrainian sailors were hurt and three naval vessels were seized. Traders were waiting to see how the situation developed, and Chicago wheat contracts were slightly higher on thin volume.

## Why it matters

Cash grain buyers and sellers held off, so the immediate supply effect is small. Freight to the Azov Sea is the most exposed part of the trade, since owners are reluctant to sail when the strait may close.
