Wheat Prices March Higher As Intensifying Black Sea Fighting Fuels Food Security Fears
Wheat futures are climbing after Ukraine's Black Sea ports came under renewed Russian fire, with three dry-cargo ships struck in recent days.

Bloomberg reports:
A ship was damaged at Pivdennyi port and two more were hit near Odesa, according to a Defense Ministry post on Telegram. Earlier Thursday, Ukraine attacked the Russian Black Sea port of Taman, a key gateway for grain shipments, while Russia hit vessels in and around Ukraine's Black Sea ports.

The demolition came in Burnham's day-one "rewire government" announcement on July 20, per City AM's reporting. Science policy, UK Research and Innovation and the Sovereign AI Fund go to Jonathan Reynolds' new Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade. The Government Digital Service (GDS), cyber security, digital skills and telecoms go back to a renamed culture ministry that once again has "...
