DTN reports that La Niña continues in the equatorial Pacific, with sea surface temperatures up to 3 °C below normal as of May 22, 2022. The forecaster expects a third consecutive La Niña summer and warns of crop yield challenges and elevated hurricane risk.
Expected La Niña-linked dryness and storms over key US growing areas could cut corn and soybean yields and lift prices if it materialises.
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.
