An analyst forecast says global wheat prices in 2027 could rise 18–24% if Black Sea ports remain closed, while an early reopening could stabilize prices near current levels. Ukraine and Russia may retain only about 60% of their export capacity if closures persist; feed barley could also rise, while the outlook assumes port reopening.
Continued port restrictions would reduce exportable grain supplies from the Black Sea and could lift wheat and barley prices; reopening would ease that pressure. The outlook is conditional on port access and competing production trends elsewhere.
After 283 past bullish logistics events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (46% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.3%), and -0.1% over 20.
