US #wheat export sales jumped more than 3X WOW.

0.85 mmt is the highest weekly number since November.

Total commitments are improving but still a tad low compared with the pace needed for USDA’s target — 56% of the target is on the books vs ~65% typically at this point of the season.

FT on the Putin–European leaders call:
Most of the 90-minute conversation was apparently spent on Putin’s (another) lengthy lecture about history.
An immediate ceasefire was barely discussed.
So yes, Europe could be back at the negotiating table.
Not much negotiating yet.

#Wheat is selling off on reports that #grain exports from the Azov Sea have resumed.

Have they?

We’re not so sure.

Sure.

Small reminder: Lula has already been president for the last four years.

So what exactly changed?

Another merchant vessel has been sunk in the Black Sea.

KHORYV was reportedly struck by a drone just 13 nautical miles off Constanța - again right outside Romanian territorial waters.

The vessel was sailing from Ereğli to Sulina carrying ferrous materials.

Another one.

What Black Sea wheat export disruption??

December CBOT #wheat is back at the 200DMA - around 650.

Last time we were here was in July, just as the current Black Sea escalation was getting started.

Quite a round trip.

Another confirmation that the month-long pause in Ukrainian attacks on merchant vessels in the Black Sea is clearly over.

An Aframax tanker, AFRAMAX RIO (~100K mt DWT), fully loaded with oil for India, was reportedly hit near Sochi this afternoon.

Is CBOT #wheat finally starting to move?

Saudi Arabia bought 0.6+ mmt last weekend. More importantly, Black Sea exports remain heavily restricted.

In our view, things escalated substantially last week.

Plenty of #wheat. Not enough ways to ship it.

Our latest September export estimates, cited by the WSJ:
Russia: 2.1 mmt −56% YoY
Ukraine: 0.9 mmt −52% YoY

The Black Sea bottleneck is hitting both major wheat exporters at once.

Algeria just paid ~$30/mt more for #wheat than in its previous tender.

OAIC bought around 500–510K mt at an estimated $319–321/mt C&F for November shipment.

In its previous tender on August 5, Algeria bought up to 720K mt at around $289–290/mt C&F.

Pakistan next?

Russian August #wheat export estimate cut last week by SovEcon from 3.2 to 2.2 mmt - the lowest since August 2010.

But 2010/11 was different: Moscow banned grain exports outright on August 15 amid a poor crop.
