  "account": "Grain traders are closely monitoring the Black Sea region as wheat and corn prices fall. December SRW wheat futures fell 20 1/4 cents to $7.34 and for the week down 50 cents. December HRW wheat futures lost 13 1/4 cents to $8.02 1/4 and for the week down 42 cents. U.S. envoys were in Russia and Ukraine for peace talks, causing traders to take profits and even positions. Putin may be open to peace, but rejected Ukraine's demand to give up Donetsk region. Ukraine moved grain through alternative routes, but high freight costs are limiting benefits. Russia faces its own export bottleneck, so exporters are seeking Baltic routes. Alternative routes are keeping grain moving, but have not restored normal Black Sea market pressure. The USDA crop progress reports and supply/demand report will be closely watched by traders, as will Friday's monthly supply and demand report. Corn futures closed at a technically bearish weekly low, and soybean prices fell 6 1/2 cents, with a two-year high for soybean meal.",
