Russian wheat down with global benchmark, Ukraine grain deal

MOSCOW, July 25 (Reuters) - Russian wheat export prices fell last week after a decline in wheat prices in Chicago and the signing of a deal aimed at resumption of massive exports from Ukraine, analysts said on Monday.

Russia, Ukraine, the United Nations and Turkey signed the deal on Friday to reopen three Ukrainian Black Sea ports for grain exports. The deal is valid for 120 days and targets monthly exports of 5 million tonnes.

Russian prices for wheat with 12.5% protein content and for supply from Black Sea ports fell by $5 to $355 a tonne free on board (FOB) at the end of last week, the IKAR agriculture consultancy said in a note.

Russia exported 540,000 tonnes of grain last week, compared with 500,000 tonnes the previous week, said fellow consultancy Sovecon, citing port data.

Wheat prices for imminent supply were at $350-355 per tonne vs $355-360 a week before, Sovecon said.
