Wheat falls amid profit-taking, Black Sea war headlines
Chicago wheat futures fell on Wednesday as markets weighed peace efforts against ongoing Black Sea disruption. Profit-taking after a recent rally also pressured prices. Corn and soybeans eased too, with traders waiting for Friday's US government crop forecasts. A Ukrainian strike on a Russian port had earlier pushed prices up, but Kremlin comments about possible talks cooled the market.
