Daily Market Letter: September 23, 2026

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.

“Super” El Niño: What Does It Mean?

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.
