The video embedded below is by Jim Roemer: renowned meteorologist and commodity guru for over 40 years for major hedge funds and hundreds of farmers and traders on six continents.

Topics addressed in our video:

1) A list of teleconnections affecting global commodity and Midwest corn belt weather. 

2) A ring of fire: Why decent rains will hit some key corn belt regions into August

3) Where does the heat dome normally have to be in the US to result in a sustained bull market in corn and soybeans?

4) A look at crop stress regions around the world and why it has been Euronext corn (maize) regions that remain in the worst drought

5) What is a -WPO (negative Western Pacific Oscillation Index)? What does this teleconnection suggest for late July and August global commodity weather?

6) The 2006 analog: Presently, we have a weak to moderate El Niño like 2006. Though El Niño may be quite strong later this year, it’s not yet. What did soybean prices do during that year?

7) Why 2006 does NOT suggest a major weakening of the Indian Monsoon. We may need to see a terrible Indian sugar crop to see a bull market in sugar

8) How teleconnections helped us call the bottom in the coffee market in June, due to our forecast of wet Brazil weather and harvest delays?
