Australia's Bureau of Meteorology has raised its El Niño outlook to watch, saying the chance of an event is about double a normal year. Eastern Australia has had a dry start to winter cropping, and farmers still planting may reconsider the risk.
A dry winter crop start in Australia combined with rising El Niño odds could cut eastern Australian wheat and barley plantings. That would support global wheat and barley prices.
After 1,072 past bullish weather events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (55% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.3%), and +0.3% over 20.
