The US Climate Prediction Center says La Niña could develop in the second half of 2024 after a strong El Niño. The current El Niño is expected to fade to neutral conditions during April-June, with a 55% chance of La Niña.
La Niña historically brings drier weather to Americas grain areas, which could tighten corn and soybean supplies and lift feed prices later in the year. Markets are likely to price this only as the forecasts firm up.
After 1,465 past bullish weather events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.9%), and +0.9% over 20.
After 1,079 past bullish weather events, Soybeans moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.0%), and +0.9% over 20.
After 453 past bullish weather events, Soybean Meal moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (55% higher; middle half -1.6% to +2.7%), and +0.5% over 20.
