Wheat futures on Euronext have fallen sharply since mid-October, erasing much of the summer rally that peaked above €256/t in September. Analyst Laurent Gaonac'h of Cerexpert notes at least three sessions of declines in the past 10-15 days, each tied to Black Sea developments.
French and European origins have not benefited as much as hoped from the Black Sea logistics blockage.
Black Sea shipping headlines are driving wheat prices, and falling prices reduce feed grain costs for buyers while signalling that the logistics premium is fading.
After 80 past bearish geopolitics events, WHEAT moved a median -0.4% over 5 sessions (44% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.9%), and -0.5% over 20.
