Wheat market adds risk premium as West fuels Russia-Ukraine crisis
The geopolitical situation in the Black Sea region remained the focus of market attention this week
.
Although Russia has repeatedly denied that Russia plans to invade Ukraine, the US and Western governments and media have repeatedly played up the Russian-Ukrainian crisis
.
On Friday, the White House warned that enough armed forces had gathered on the Russian-Ukrainian border that a large-scale military conflict could break out at any time, and urged all American citizens to leave Ukraine within 48 hours

On Friday, the White House warned that enough armed forces had gathered on the Russian-Ukrainian border that a large-scale military conflict could break out at any time, and urged all American citizens to leave Ukraine within 48 hours
.
Both Russia and Ukraine are the world's major grain exporters, of which Russia is the world's number one wheat exporter and Ukraine is the world's major wheat and corn exporter
.
If the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict slows or disrupts Black Sea grain exports, the EU and US wheat exports could benefit
.
Quotes from major global wheat exporters rose in the month to February 8, mainly due to concerns about tight supplies due to geopolitical tensions in the Black Sea, data from the International Grains Council showed
.
Canadian wheat rose the most, up $22/ton from a month ago; Australian wheat rose $5/ton, as the new season wheat was launched and international demand was strong, especially from China and Indonesia
.
Argentine wheat prices rose by $6/ton on strong import demand from Brazil
.
U.
S.
wheat quotations also rose by $8/ton, mainly due to continued dry weather in most parts of the U.
S.
winter wheat producing areas, resulting in poorer winter wheat crop conditions
.
However, EU wheat fell by $9/ton as a diplomatic dispute between France and Algeria led the latter to switch to Black Sea supplies; Russian wheat fell by $16/ton as Russia will impose export quotas on February 15, prompting importers to switch to other origins

Ships to Ukrainian seaports in the Sea of Azov will be blocked during Russian military exercises from February 13 to 19, the Ukrainian Seaports Authority said
.
Still, Ukrainian traders said the market was mostly quiet, with expectations that the navy would let merchant ships through
.
But some ship owners may be hesitant to ship Ukrainian grain because of the uncertainty
.
Mikola Horbachev, chairman of the Ukrainian Grains Association, said the drills further fueled market fears that it could turn into a conflict
.
Due to the uncertainty, traders are reluctant to purchase (Ukrainian) grains due to concerns about delays in shipments
.
Horbachev, however, did not give specific examples of ships being detained
.
On Friday, Ukrainian Deputy Economy Minister Taras Kachka said that Ukrainian trade has not been affected in any serious way, except for some relevant information that has an impact on the market

Increased drought in U.

plains winter wheat growing areas
This week's U.
S.
Department of Agriculture's Drought Monitor report shows that the drought in parts of the Great Plains of the United States has expanded.
Although some areas have recently rained, the drought has not ended.
Winter wheat-producing regions still need more rain to boost winter wheat production.
The outlook encourages increased spring wheat acreage in the US and Canada
.
At present, the situation in the eastern Midwest of the United States is relatively good, but the melting of snow in other areas has led to an increase in soil moisture in areas with excess moisture content.
If there is not enough snow protection, another cold snap may cause some losses
