The Climate Prediction Center raised the odds of El Niño for November-January to 96%, up from 84% the prior month, and more than 50% odds of it persisting into June-August. Analysts note El Niño typically brings above-average US corn, soybean and wheat yields if it lasts into the fall.
Expectations of favorable US growing conditions in 2019 reduce drought risk premium in corn, soybeans and wheat, which supports bearish price sentiment. Feed buyers may see softer grain prices if the event strengthens as forecast.
