  "transcript": "Escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, um, was the main factor pushing prices higher. Uh, Chicago wheat ended June at around 580 cents per bushel and was close to 770 cents per bushel by late August. A gain of more than 20% in the quarter. And Black Sea shipments is the main is the main reason for that. Black Sea shipments is low from August onwards and attacks on ports in the Sea of Azov and Novorossiysk as well as on civilian vessels in the Kerch Strait made Russian wheat flows very, uh, how can I say, complicated. And this happened right in the window where uh Russian exports usually pick up. Russia has plenty of wheat to export but is effectively bottled up. So that raises the risk premium and redirects uh trade flows towards uh other origins for the main importers of wheat.",

With Chicago wheat up over 20% in the quarter, Raphael Bulascoschi, Market Intelligence Analyst at StoneX Brazil, breaks down how rising risk premiums and port disruptions are redirecting global grain flows.\n\nVie his full report in the related video.\n\n#Shorts #Wheat #Agriculture #Commodities #GlobalTrade #StoneX",
