Chicago wheat jumps 3% to $7.56-1/2 a bushel as Black Sea export worries return

AI Market Summary
CBOT wheat jumped ~3% as U.S. diplomacy showed little progress toward easing the Ukraine war, keeping Black Sea export risks elevated and prompting importers to seek alternative supply. Spillover support lifted corn and soybeans modestly. Soybeans were additionally underpinned by reported Chinese buying and U.S. weather concerns, while traders await Friday's USDA supply-and-demand update for near-term direction across grains.
