Black Sea Shipping Halted Amid Safety Concerns; Canadian Grain Prices Hold Steady

Shipping from Russia's shallow-water ports on the Black Sea has been restricted since July 10 due to safety concerns amid drone strikes in the wider area, market sources told Reuters.

The restriction, which began on July 10, is expected to continue. The exact duration of the restriction was not specified.

Meanwhile, grain prices in Western Canada have remained steady, with average prices at various locations reported as follows: $244.47 per metric tonne in Lethbridge, Alberta; $245.21 per metric tonne in Calgary; and $246.42 per metric tonne in Edmonton.

The figures are provided by PDQ, which is owned by the Alberta Wheat Commission, and offers information services, cash grain market prices, and statistical data.
