Chicago wheat futures rose on Friday in a technical rebound from a 4-1/2-month low. Analysts said continued disruption to Black Sea exports, despite diplomatic efforts to end Russia's war with Ukraine, supported prices, and corn also recovered after nearing a four-month low.
Ongoing Black Sea export disruption keeps wheat and corn supply tight for importers, which supports prices. The rebound is largely technical, so the underlying supply risk remains the key driver.
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.
