Wheat prices plummeted to their lowest point in a month, dipping below $7 per bushel as recent developments in the US-China trade deal came to light. Key aspects of the agreement included tariff reductions on agricultural products, with both nations agreeing to lower tariffs on roughly $30 billion worth of imports. This included a wide range of American farm goods, such as wheat.
Furthermore, the two countries established an agricultural working group to streamline future negotiations and enhance market access. However, traders remain cautious, waiting for concrete evidence of increased Chinese purchases. While progress has been made on a pledge from the May Trump-Xi summit to buy an additional $17 billion worth of US agricultural products, actual progress has been limited.
Meanwhile, traders continue to observe Black Sea export flows, as Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy revealed that India, Turkey, Egypt, and other Middle Eastern countries are involved in efforts to restore safe shipping through the Black Sea.
