On the Chicago Stock Exchange (CBOT), the price of June wheat per bushel (36.35 liters) rose to $7.52, the highest level since the end of February. Uncertainty over top exporter Russia emerged after Wagner mercenaries temporarily seized the city of Rostov, in the country’s key grain-growing region, on Saturday, according to data manager Trading Economics. Meanwhile, there is also concern that the drought affecting the Midwest region of the United States may cause more serious crop losses.
