# Wheat Rallies to Near 3 Year Highs on Wednesday on Black Sea Export Limitations

> Wheat futures rallied to near three-year highs on July 22, with KC HRW reaching its highest spot level since August 2023 and Chicago SRW at its highest since 2024. Russia paused night-time shipments from Novorossiysk after Ukrainian drone strikes, and the spring wheat tour showed lower yields in southern North Dakota.
