# Markets slow as traders await progress on peace talks

> Grain and oilseed markets are quiet as traders await Ukraine-Russia peace talks in Abu Dhabi, which could halt Black Sea attacks and increase grain flows. Russia has approved some Azov Sea vessels to sail to the Black Sea and started exports from Murmansk, while US Secretary of State Rubio doubts a negotiated peace is achievable.

## Why it matters

A deal that restores Black Sea shipping would add wheat and corn supply and pressure prices, while Oilseed prices remain supported by high crude and record US soybean harvest pressure. Dollar moves ahead of US midterms also affect global grain pricing.
