# CBoT wheat climbs on Ukraine war risks, bullish USDA global stocks view - Markets - Business Recorder

> US and European wheat futures rose July 10 to their highest since late May on escalating Russia-Ukraine tensions and USDA projections of tighter global wheat stocks. Russia briefly halted Don-Azov shipping, which could affect nearly a quarter of its Sea of Azov wheat exports. USDA's 2026/27 world wheat stock forecast fell to 272.84 million tons from 279.04 million.
