December wheat on Euronext was up 1.3percent at €231.50 (USD267.29) a metric ton by 1615 GMT.

The contract earlier slipped to €226, its lowest since July 15, before rebounding.

Grains came under pressure from a slide in oil on signs of progress in talks to end the Iran war and restore regular traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

Wheat later recovered as oil prices steadied and fighting in the Black Sea zone came back into focus.

Traders said an unconfirmed rumour that Russia was planning to close its Black Sea ports on Wednesday evening due to security risks fuelled a rise of as much as 2.4percent for Euronext December.

Euronext later pared gains as traders played down the talk and also awaited results from a tender by major wheat importer Algeria.

“There are a lot of comments about ‘what if’ ports are closed,” one futures trader said. “Ukraine certainly won’t sit by as Russia steps up its attacks, but I don’t think strategically Russia would close its ports.”

The Algerian tender was being watched notably given uncertainty over whether merchants will supply wheat from Russia or Ukraine amid war risks. Traders initially reported that Algerian state grains agency OAIC had started buying at around USD289 per ton, cost and freight (c&f), with tender negotiations continuing.

The prospect of large harvests in the Black Sea region and also in importing countries like Morocco and Turkey nonetheless remained a curb on prices.

“There is a lot of concern in the market about the attacks on Russian and Ukrainian ships and ports and what the implications are of this for export shipments,” one German trader said.

SUGAR

Raw sugar was up 2 percent at 15.31 cents per lb by 1128 GMT after setting a four-week high of 15.32 cents. Dealers said recent rains interrupted cane harvest in Brazil, which may not be as high as previously expected, while mills are using a higher proportion than last year of the cane to make biofuel ethanol rather than sugar.

Hot, dry weather in other areas including the European Union could also diminish production prospects.

White sugar rose 2percent to USD478.90 a metric ton.

COFFEE

ICE arabica coffee was up 1.2percent at USD3.2340 per lb boosted by tight supplies. Dealers noted exchange stocks have fallen to their lowest since January 31, 2024.ICE certified stocks stood at 260,720 bags on August 3, down from 292,810 bags a week earlier and sharply below the 760,529 bags by the same stage last year.

Robusta coffee rose 1.4percent to USD3,838 a ton.

COCOA

ICE London cocoa fell 1.75percent to £4,325 a ton in a modest setback following a rise of 9.7percent on Monday. Dealers said production is likely to fall significantly in the upcoming 2026/27 season, particularly in West Africa.

“More pessimistic assessments of cocoa supply for the coming 2026/27 crop year, which begins in September or October, are driving prices higher,” Commerzbank said in a note.

Demand is also beginning to recover after falling last year in response to a surge in prices in 2024. New York cocoa lost 1.55percent to USD5,847 a ton.

Corn futures were flat after rallying sharply on Monday, when the US Department of Agriculture reported US crop condition had deteriorated more than analysts expected.

Soybeans inched lower, with a hot streak of US export sales undercut by ample supply. The most-traded wheat contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) was down 0.4percent at USD6.48-1/2 a bushel, as of 0649 GMT, after rising 1.8percent on Monday.

Vietnam, the world’s third-largest rice exporter, has seen export prices come under pressure in recent months after the Philippines, its biggest overseas market, moved to curb imports.

The association, which includes rice exporters and processors, is proposing a floor export price of USD500 per metric ton, free on board, for fragrant rice, and a minimum domestic purchase price of 7,000 dong (USD0.27) per kg for fresh unhusked paddy, chairman Do Ha Nam said.

Technical trading drove wheat futures down and soybeans and corn followed, said Brian Splitt, partner at AgMarket.net.

Wheat prices jumped on Thursday on reports that Ukrainian drones had attacked the port of Taman in Russia, on the Kerch Strait linking the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.

Shipowners, insurers and exporters may be increasingly reluctant to operate in the region, lifting freight costs and slowing the movement of grain, analysts said.

The end of the month is also causing liquidation, Splitt said.

Wheat fell 26-3/4 cents to USD6.36-3/4 a bushel by 11:51 a.m. CDT (1651 GMT) after it surged to USD6.86-1/2 a bushel in the previous session.

The corn contract on the Chicago Board of Trade eased 6-1/2 cents to USD4.62 a bushel and was on track for a monthly gain, snapping two consecutive monthly losses.

Its most-active soybean contract was down 6 cents at USD11.82-3/4 a bushel, falling for a third straight session as rain forecast in the US Midwest near the end of the week – vital for the soybean crop as it reaches the pod-setting phase of its development – weighed on the contract.

Splitt said that in corn and soybeans, market players are also looking forward to August’s US Department of Agriculture supply and demand report, when the agency traditionally provides updates on new crop yields.

The European Commission on Thursday cut its forecast for usable production of most grain and oilseeds in the European Union in 2026/27, including an 8percent output drop for soft wheat and a 14percent production drop for grain maize compared to 2025/26.

September milling wheat on Paris-based Euronext was down 2.9percent to €222.75 (USD256.54) a metric ton at the end of the daily session. It was trading at €202.0 a ton at the end of June.

The contract fell suddenly in tandem with the benchmark one in Chicago in afternoon trade.

“It’s July 31, wheat had gained 20 euros since the start of the month, some people just wanted to take the money before going on holiday,” a French trader said. Another trader said the move did not reflect a bearish shift:

“The news is not necessarily negative, but you know what you have; you don’t know what you get.”

Recent attacks by Russia and Ukraine on grain infrastructure and vessels have disrupted cargo movements and raised risks for importers in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, helping support global grain prices.

But that risk premium eased on Friday, with no fresh reports of attacks on major grain hubs, traders said.

“The markets might take a breather to see how exports from the two countries continue, especially if shipowners are willing to send their vessels to Russian ports,” a German trader said.

A stronger euro weighed on sentiment as the EU seeks export sales to replace Black Sea

supplies.The European Commission on Thursday cut its 2026/27 EU grain and oilseed production forecasts, including an 8percent drop in wheat output.

Final stocks were seen tightening to 12.9 million tons, down from 13.8 million forecast last month and 16.5 million at the end of June this year.

“The supply of wheat in the EU is therefore likely to become noticeably tighter,” Commerzbank analyst Carsten Fritsch said in a note.

Meanwhile, logistics problems for German grain transport were underlined as river Rhine shipping was hindered by water levels falling to around

record lows on Friday.

Corn and soybeans eased.

“Ports remain severely disrupted, but the markets appear to believe that this situation will not last, which is keeping the geopolitical risk premium in check,” a French trader said.

Soybeans and corn firmed, tracking higher crude prices amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, which have curtailed global oil supplies.

“Disruptions to Black Sea grain exports are not isolated to Russia,” ING said in a note. “Ukrainian exports are also being heavily disrupted amid ongoing Russian attacks on port infrastructure.” The most-active wheat contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) climbed 0.7percent to USD6.82-1/2 a bushel by 0256 GMT, extending gains to a second straight session. Soybeans eked out 0.04percent of gains to USD12.23-1/4 a bushel and corn rose 0.2percent to USD4.76-1/4 a bushel.

Wheat prices have climbed in recent weeks after attacks on grain ships and port infrastructure in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov by both Ukraine and Russia.

Expectations of lower output are also supporting wheat prices after crop scouts on the first day of an annual three-day tour of North Dakota’s hard red spring wheat crop projected an average yield in the southern portion of the state at 46.0 bushels per acre (bpa) on Tuesday evening. That figure was 8percent below the estimate for the same area last year and just above the five-year average of 45.8 bpa. The Sovecon agriculture consultancy on Tuesday cut its forecast for Russia’s wheat crop this year to 88.3 million metric tons, down from 88.9 million tons, citing weaker prospects in the south of the country and a smaller spring wheat area.

Rising crude oil prices are underpinning soybean and corn markets as higher petroleum prices boost demand for agricultural feedstocks used to produce biofuels.

Two oil tankers carrying Saudi crude to Asia reversed course in the Red Sea on Tuesday after threats from Yemen’s.

Soybeans rose to a two-month high as crude oil prices rallied on escalating US-Iran attacks. “We have issue with Russian and Ukrainian wheat supply, which is driving the price rally,” said one trader in Singapore. “Supplies in the US and Europe are already tight because of the dryness.”

The most-active wheat contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) rose 0.2percent to USD6.83-3/4 a bushel by 0327 GMT, trading close to Friday’s highest since June 2024.

Soybeans were up 0.4percent at USD12.08-1/4 a bushel after climbing to their highest since late May earlier in the day, while corn rose 0.8percent to USD4.71 a bushel.

Strikes on vessels by Ukraine and Russia are disrupting wheat shipments during the peak marketing season for Black Sea exports. Wheat prices have been supported by attacks in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov as the two countries stepped up hostilities in a zone vital for grain exports. Russia attacked two Ukrainian Black Sea port cities on Friday, killing three people, Ukrainian officials said, as Moscow intensifies pressure on Ukraine’s key trade routes.

The most active wheat contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) was up 0.7 percent at USD6.87-1/2 a bushel as of 1157 GMT. Corn rose 0.4 percent lower to USD4.71-1/2 a bushel and soybean gained 0.25 percent to USD12.04-3/4 a bushel.

Wheat futures had already surged 5 percent in the last session amid fears of disruptions to Black Sea exports at a time when wheat supplies are seen tightening in Europe and North America.

Ukraine and Russia launched missile and drone attacks on Thursday on vessels in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, the route for a quarter of Russia’s grain exports, stepping up hostilities in a zone vital for grain exports.

Benchmark September milling wheat on Paris-based Euronext, ended the daytime trading session 7 percent higher at €231.75 (USD265) a metric ton, a price not seen since February last year.

Chicago wheat was up 5.6 percent by the same time while Kansas hard red winter wheat futures hit the 45-cent daily limit.

It gained more than 13 percent since the end of last week when rumors about a possible closure of the Sea of Azov to shipping sparked concern about disruption to exports from Russia, the world’s biggest wheat supplier. Meanwhile, Russia in recent days has stepped up attacks on Ukraine’s deepwater Black Sea ports in the Greater Odesa area, which handle much of the country’s grain and other cargo and are vital to its wartime economy.

Ukraine has lost about a third of its capacity to export grain via its vital Black Sea ports due to intensifying Russian missile and drone attacks, the country’s main farmers’ union said.

“Euronext wheat is rallying on escalating Black Sea risk, with vessels now increasingly at the center of the conflict. Ukraine has been targeting mainly oil tankers, while Russia is now reported to be hitting cargo vessels leaving Ukrainian ports,” CM Navigator analyst Donatas Jankauskas said.

Russian authorities imposed “security restrictions” on access to the Sea of Azov via the Azov-Don sea channel and the Kerch Strait on Friday evening, sources told Reuters.

The duration of the restrictions, which potentially cut off a quarter of the country’s grain exports, has not been specified.

Exporters’ purchase prices in roubles at ports remain at Friday’s levels for the time being. As exchange market indicators rise, FOB prices may go up, but the current uncertainty means it is not possible to quote actual prices, one exporter told Reuters.

“There are no actual purchases yet.

Furthermore, even if prices do rise, the increase in freight costs could play a role… But everyone is still waiting for further clarification; everything is on hold for the time being,” he said.

The price of Russian new-crop wheat with 12.5percent protein content for free-on-board delivery in August was up USD2 at USD228 a ton at the end of last week versus the week before, said Dmitry Rylko, head of IKAR consultancy.

Earlier, it reached its lowest since July 3 at €202.50 as it retreated from Wednesday’s near-two-week peak. Chicago wheat turned higher to recoup a sharp fall from Wednesday, with attention shifting towards Friday’s monthly supply-and-demand report from the US Department of Agriculture.

“Attention will increasingly shift from acreage estimates to realised Northern Hemisphere yields and USDA balance sheet revisions, while strong Russian export availability and cautious import demand should continue to limit sustained wheat rallies,” British merchant ADM Agriculture said.

In Europe, wheat prices remained capped by expectations of an average-sized French harvest, despite some yield losses due to extreme heat and drought, and the prospect of bumper crops in rival exporting countries in the Black Sea zone, traders said.
