Wheat prices fell as traders looked ahead to U.S.-mediated peace talks. In the wider crop-market update, December corn rose 1½ cents, while USDA reported a 101,000-tonne U.S. corn sale to unknown destinations for 2026–27.
Expectations that peace talks could ease Black Sea supply risks may reduce the risk premium in wheat, weighing on prices. The corn sale offers some demand support but did not materially lift the market.
