German Foreign Minister Johann Wadeful said an agreement on grain exports from Ukraine and Russia through the Black Sea could be reached in the coming weeks. He made the remarks in a ZDF interview on the sidelines of a G20 foreign ministers' meeting in Atlanta.
A reopened Black Sea grain route would ease freight costs and add supply to global wheat and corn markets, which is bearish for prices. Until a deal is signed, the uncertainty keeps a risk premium in wheat.
After 80 past bearish geopolitics events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.4% over 5 sessions (44% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.9%), and -0.5% over 20.
After 87 past bearish geopolitics events, Corn moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.5% to +2.1%), and +0.3% over 20.
