A G20 foreign ministers' meeting ended without agreement on safe navigation and an end to attacks on commercial vessels in the Black Sea. Ukraine and Turkey agreed to work on a grain corridor mechanism, but shipping routes and security guarantees remain undefined.

After 361 past bullish geopolitics events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.7% over 5 sessions (58% higher; middle half -1.4% to +3.7%), and +1.3% over 20.
After 323 past bullish geopolitics events, Corn moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (57% higher; middle half -1.5% to +2.9%), and +0.9% over 20.
