Wheat Climbs, Ukraine may Limit Shipments

Wheat futures climbed for a third day on signs that Ukraine will limit exports, and on speculation that dry weather in the southern U.S. Great Plains will curb production. Corn advanced, while soybeans fell.

Ukraine’s wheat exports will reach 5 million metric tons by Nov. 15, Volodymyr Klymenko, the head of the country’s Grain Association, said on 19 October. That may prompt the government to introduce shipment limits, he said. Parts of Kansas, the biggest U.S. producer of winter varieties, have received little rain in the past month, National Weather Service data show.
