Karen Braun writes that La Niña has ended and El Niño may arrive later in 2023, with timing still unclear. Model-based forecasts show 64% odds of El Niño for the July-centred period, and potential impacts include mega-drought in Indonesia, India and parts of Australia.
Earlier El Niño arrival would raise drought risk for Asian and Australian crops, which could support palm oil, rice and wheat prices, though US summer crop impacts are smaller.
