# Wheat Prices Stable: Paris Firm, Chicago Slightly Weaker

> Paris wheat futures opened the week slightly firmer while Chicago eased. Russia announced it will reopen the Sea of Azov to shipping until November 15, and analysts report the first grain vessels leaving Azov ports. Traders are also watching whether China will buy more US winter wheat, as the US-China tariff dispute is paused until January 10, 2027 and China plans to cut tariffs on US farm goods including wheat.

## Why it matters

Reopened Azov shipping adds Russian wheat supply to export markets, which pressures prices. Any real Chinese buying of US winter wheat would support Chicago prices, so the net effect is mixed and the direction depends on those purchases.
