International

Wheat futures surged on Monday in response to Russia’s barrage of missile attacks on Ukraine, which make the prospect of an export corridor renewal next month doubtful. Before this escalation UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and his team were working to expand and extend the agreement for a year. “We’re trying to remove the uncertainty to ensure that people are publicly saying that ‘yes, this will be extended a further year,’ but we’re not there yet,” adding that UN officials are also working to facilitate Russian grain and fertiliser exports. Russia rained missiles on busy Ukrainian cities on Monday in what the US called “horrific strikes”, killing civilians and knocking out power and heat with its most widespread air attacks since the start of the war. Missiles hit intersections, parks and tourist sites in the capital Kyiv and explosions were reported in Lviv, Ternopil and Zhytomyr in western Ukraine, Dnipro and Kremenchuk in the centre, Zaporizhzhia in the south and Kharkiv in the east. Putin said he had ordered “massive” long range strikes after an attack on the bridge linking Russia to the annexed Crimean Peninsula over the weekend, and threatened more strikes in future if Ukraine hits Russian territory. “To leave such acts without a response is simply impossible,” he said, alleging other, unspecified attacks on Russian energy infrastructure. Despite Russia saying the attacks were in response to the bridge explosion, Ukrainian authorities said the missile attack had been ordered before this strike occurred. The UN General Assembly voted on Monday to reject Russia’s call to hold a secret ballot later this week on whether to condemn Moscow’s move to annex four partially occupied regions in Ukraine. The General Assembly decided, with 107 votes in favour, that it would hold a public vote (not a secret ballot) on a draft resolution that would condemn Russia’s “illegal so-called referenda” and the “attempted illegal annexation”. 

Australia

After a sluggish start to the week the local markets close yesterday remained wide bid offer spread amid still plenty of uncertainty. Offshore markets started to rally late in the day, and the dollar softened, but neither bid nor offer side was willing to meet. Today will be interesting to see what moves are passed through into the market and if we see more liquidity pick up.
