# La Niña Threatens Price Stability | Feed & Grain

> A Rabobank outlook published in Feed & Grain says weather, trade headwinds and currency moves could disrupt global food prices. It cites a 75% chance of La Niña strengthening through the northern winter, which could bring heat and dryness to Americas grain areas. Rabobank also says global grain and oilseed stocks are high but balance sheets are tightening.

## Why it matters

Tightening balance sheets combined with La Niña dryness risk in the Americas could lift corn and soybean prices. A stronger US dollar from rate increases would reduce US export competitiveness.
