Wheat Edges Higher as Hostilities Escalate Again in Black Sea
Futures in Chicago gained as much as 0.7% on Wednesday after losing more than 6% over the previous four sessions. A military plane destroyed four speed boats with Ukrainian soldiers in the Black Sea, Russia’s Ministry of Defense said in a Telegram post. Tass also reported a drone attack near Sevastopol.
Conflict has escalated in the Black Sea this month after Moscow pulled out of a grain deal in July that ensured the safe passage of Ukrainian grain. Benchmark wheat futures are still about 24% lower this year following bumper harvests in some parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
