DTN Closing Grain Comments 11/02 13:42 Wheat Markets Plunge on Russia's Reversal on Ukraine Export Pact; Soybean Oil Soars Again One day after stating that Russia would be suspending their support for the Black Sea Grain Initiative, Vladimir Putin reversed course, sending grain markets tumbling. Russia allegedly received written notice from Ukraine that the export corridor would not be used for military purposes and that was enough to get vessels moving again. Soybeans fell in sympathy with corn and wheat but recovered nicely as soybean oil surged. The Federal Reserve again raised short-term rates by another 75-basis points to the highest level in 15 years.
