Wheat futures jump after Russia rejects Ukraine’s Black Sea ceasefire proposal
AI Market Summary

Strong gains across SRW, HRW and spring wheat reflect a risk premium tied to port and infrastructure strikes. While US export sales remain behind the five-year pace, Taiwan's tender purchase adds incremental demand support.
