IKAR cut its 2026/27 Russian wheat export forecast from 42 million to 39.5 million tonnes as attacks on shipping keep southern ports largely closed. Russian wheat exports from July through October fell to 10.3 million tonnes, compared with 16.9 million tonnes a year earlier.
Reduced port access and lower export availability could tighten global wheat supply and support prices. Grain shipments through alternative ports also compete for limited terminal capacity with other commodities.
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.
