The increase resulted from Russia’s missile attack on the Ukrainian port of Odesa, which raised doubts about the possibility of implementing the agreement reached last week on opening a corridor for the export of grain, writes Reuters. Specifically, wheat futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange rose nearly 4% to $7.86 a bushel, recovering most of the loss from July 22, when prices fell nearly 6% after the deal was announced.
