The IRI July 2017 Quick Look reports the tropical Pacific remained ENSO-neutral in mid-July, with SSTs near the El Niño threshold but neutral atmospheric patterns. Latest model consensus favors neutral conditions through winter, with El Niño development chances at about 35-40%.
A neutral outlook removes a major tail risk to 2017-18 crops in Australia, India and Southeast Asia, which tends to support steady grain and oilseed supply expectations and limits weather-driven price premiums.
