Wheat futures rose above $7.30 per bushel, rebounding from losses on September 4, as Washington’s renewed push to end the Russia-Ukraine war failed to deliver a meaningful breakthrough toward restoring Ukrainian and Russian grain exports. Over the weekend, US representatives met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv. Putin reportedly ordered a three-day pause in Russian attacks on Kyiv to coincide with the US delegation’s visit to Ukraine, but stressed that the two sides had not agreed to a broader ceasefire. President Putin is reportedly determined to bring the entire Donetsk region under Russian control within six months, while Ukraine resumed strikes on Russian oil refineries on Monday. The intensifying conflict has disrupted grain trade, as attacks on Black Sea terminals and export infrastructure hamper agricultural exports.
