Glencore is trying to buy rights to more grain export capacity at Russia's Port of Taman from Kernel Holding, which could nearly double Glencore's capacity there. Glencore was Russia's second-largest grain exporter in 2017-18.
The report notes Black Sea share of world wheat trade rose 37 percent in 2017-18.
Expanded private export capacity at Taman eases Russian port bottlenecks over time, which could add wheat supply to world markets and modestly pressure prices.
After 137 past bearish logistics events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.3% over 5 sessions (44% higher; middle half -2.2% to +1.0%), and +0.0% over 20.
