The IRI September 2019 Quick Look reports that east-central Pacific sea surface temperatures stayed at ENSO-neutral levels during September, with atmospheric indicators also neutral. Model forecasts favor neutral conditions through spring 2020, with slightly higher odds of El Niño than La Niña.
A neutral ENSO outlook removes the strong weather driver behind major South American or North American crop swings, so it carries little direct price signal for feed grains and oilseeds. Slightly higher El Niño odds are a modest longer-term risk to Australian and Southeast Asian supply.
