The CBOT is fully expecting an ag trade deal this week, but US Trade Rep Greer’s comments that China is already fulfilling its agreement cast doubt on the $17 billion ever happening. Corn is all dressed up with record speculator length ahead of the Trump-Xi meeting, and Brazil’s planting weather is worth watching.
With equatorial Pacific sea surface temperatures at the highest ever recorded (since decent data began in 1950) and forecast models taking them even higher, Chris explains what an El Niño typically means for North and South American weather from October through January. He lays out three ag market questions: wet US feedlots, a too-wet southern Brazil and a too-dry northern Brazil.
Raised on a Mississippi farm. Three decades in the ag markets.
