The USDA forecasts Ukraine’s 2026/27 ending grain stocks at a record 36.1 million tonnes as exports decline. It projects exports of 8.7 million tonnes of wheat, 10.2 million tonnes of corn and 2 million tonnes of barley, with Russian attacks on ports, railways, bridges and border crossings disrupting shipments.
The export bottlenecks leave more grain in Ukraine while reducing supply available to world buyers, a potentially supportive factor for global grain prices and a bearish one for local prices.
After 285 past bullish logistics events, Corn moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.5% to +1.5%), and +0.8% over 20.
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.
