The suspension of wheat exports from the Black Sea ports of Ukraine since July 22 and from the Black Sea ports of the Russian Federation since August 12 due to increased attacks on port infrastructure and civilian vessels led to a slight speculative increase in wheat quotes during the week, although overall, soft winter wheat quotes decreased over the month.   During the week, September wheat futures rose: by 5.4% to $248/t - for soft winter SRW wheat in Chicago (unchanged for...

Successful Ukrainian drone attacks have virtually halted navigation through the Azov-Don Canal and the Kerch Strait since July 10, prompting ports in Azov, Rostov-on-Don, and Taganrog to halt grain shipments. Azov ports account for nearly 25% of Russia’s grain exports, while Black Sea ports account for over 50%.   As a result of a massive and successful strike on August 12, 2026, all three key grain terminals in the port of Novorossiysk were put out of action and completely...

The critically low water level in the Danube leads to an increase in the cost of barge freight from Ukrainian ports and limits vessel capacity, which reduces the capacity of the Danube route and slows down the export of agricultural products precisely at a time when it is critically important for the country.   Amid logistical difficulties, shipowners keep freight rates high, which reduces the competitiveness of Ukrainian grain on the world market.   Meanwhile, freight...

The lack of a deal with Iran to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, which Trump has repeatedly announced, and Iran's constant attacks on tankers keep oil prices high.   October Brent crude futures rose 6% last week to $88.5/barrel (+2.9% month-on-month), but their further growth was limited by information about the continued transit of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.   Meanwhile, the US continues to block Iranian oil exports in an attempt to force it to negotiate under...
