White House touts deals on soybeans and rare earths after Trump-Xi summit, while China talks up tariff cuts
Ukraine typically ships 50M tons of wheat and 25M tons of corn annually; drone escalation degrades port and transport infrastructure, narrowing the export window during harvest season. 2022 Black Sea blockade moved wheat +$3–4/bu (18–22%) within weeks due to 25% of global supply at risk. Current barrage signals continued supply friction even with corridor partly open.

De-escalation typically unwinds 3-5% geopolitical premiums in grains within 1-2 weeks. Precedent: January 2020 Phase One deal saw CBOT corn fall 8% over 3 weeks as tariff uncertainty receded.
