WeatherTiger's 2017 summer outlook expects a warmer and drier than average July and August in the central U.S., centered on the Plains. The forecast notes a wetter, milder modulation from an active Pacific jet, following a spring of extremes with heavy rain in the central states.
A hot, dry Plains and western Corn Belt summer raises the risk of yield loss for corn, sorghum and wheat during pollination. Traders may add a weather premium if the forecast verifies.
After 1,465 past bullish weather events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.9%), and +0.9% over 20.
