Inflation shock: Corn, Wheat and Oil futures rally between 10% and 18% as traders begin to lock in prices. Re: Northern Hemisphere heatwave and the Russian 2023 'blockade' of Black Sea/Ukrainian ports. Also, Russian missile attacks of Ukrainian grain silos.
After June 2023 lows, Corn, Wheat and oil futures spike (Chart above). Rallying between 10% and 18% since July 12. This is very much a sudden price rise which could be equated to an inflation shock, since Corn and Wheat + oil are intrinsically related to food and energy commodities. The shock will come after the heatwave effected agriculture in Europe/America through to Russia closing off the Black Sea, thus ending the grain deal with the rest of the world.
Oil: 78
Corn: 5.61
Wheat: 7.57
All bid.
