DTN's Bryce Anderson reports that NOAA's Climate Prediction Center expects El Niño during the 2018-19 winter, with about an 80% chance, and into spring at 55-60%. The atmospheric response has not yet fully developed, with convection suppressed near the Date Line and Indonesia and Southern Oscillation indices near zero.
Suppressed convection over Indonesia and Australia signals the dry-season risk that can hit palm oil and Australian grain output. Traders may add some weather premium to these markets while the atmospheric signal remains unconfirmed.
