Yes – there will be more claims. The government’s actions allow traders, with PRI cover, to make claims through contract frustration.

No - the majority of Russia’s wheat production, some 70%-80%, is used for domestic consumption so the contracts represent only a small portion of the total wheat market, limiting the amount of potential claims.

No - traders had a week’s notice before the ban allowing them to secure alternative supplies to fulfil contracts stated as optional origin.

Maybe - but claims are likely to be limited to traders dealing in soft wheat whose contracts demand they source wheat only from Russia.
