# Market overestimated prospects for Russian wheat export recovery as prices rise again

> IKAR cut its forecast for Russia’s 2026/27 wheat exports by 2.5 million tonnes to 39.5 million tonnes and lowered its total grain export estimate to 49.5 million tonnes. Black Sea shipping restrictions are pushing exporters toward rail and Baltic ports, but those alternative routes are nearing capacity limits. Wheat futures rebounded on November 5 after falling to a near four-month low as traders reassessed the export outlook.

## Why it matters

Reduced Russian export availability and constrained alternative routes could tighten global wheat supply and support prices. The rebound reflects the market pricing in greater shipment risk than previously expected.
