CBOT December wheat futures fell 1.33% on Friday after Donald Trump said Russia and Ukraine could reach a peace agreement soon, potentially allowing their wheat exports to increase. Corn and soybean futures edged higher, supported by reported U.S. flash sales and buying after earlier price declines.
A potential reopening or expansion of Black Sea grain exports would add wheat supply and weigh on prices. The reported U.S. sales offered some support to corn and soybean demand, while El Niño-related crop concerns were also cited as supportive.
