G20 foreign ministers ended two days of talks in Atlanta without agreeing a plan to secure commercial shipping in the Black Sea. The US is reviewing proposals from Türkiye and India aimed at restarting grain exports, while Zelenskyy and Erdoğan agreed to work on a Black Sea grain corridor with three-way talks planned for November.
Without a secured shipping corridor, Ukrainian and Russian grain exports remain constrained, keeping wheat and corn supply tight for importers and supporting Black Sea-linked prices. Any restart of shipments would be bearish for global grain prices.
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.
