Chicago wheat futures rose above $9.3 per bushel, rebounding slightly from the four-month low of $9 touched on June 27, supported by signs of increased demand from importers. Following a period of muted demand, state tenders from Jordan, Bangladesh, and signs of future tenders from Egypt lifted buying expectations. Still, wheat futures are on track to close June 15% lower, amid expectations of record-high supplies available for export from Russia and a strong harvest in North America. Investors continue to monitor the possibility of seaborne exports from Ukraine, after Italian PM Draghi signaled trade corridors may open soon. Ukrainian grain exports in the first 22 days of June were 44% lower year-on-year, shipped solely through rail and smaller Danube river ports. 24 million tonnes of Ukrainian grain were estimated to be stuck in port silos since shipments were halted on February 24.
