Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to say whether restoring Black Sea shipping would be discussed at trilateral Russia-Ukraine-US talks in Abu Dhabi. Grain trade through the route has stalled after mutual drone attacks on vessels and ports, while previous mediation efforts have not restored trade; wheat was near multi-month lows as traders awaited the talks.
A resumption could add Black Sea export supply and weigh on global grain prices, while continued disruption would keep export availability constrained. The talks’ agenda and outcome remain uncertain, and the reported wheat market move reflects traders’ expectations rather than a new supply change.
