First was El Nino, now brace for La Nina

by Nyshka Chandran

"Dry weather conditions in the U.S. can threaten the development of corn, soybeans and wheat crops, while dry conditions in Argentina and southern Brazil can impact corn and soybeans," SocGen said.

Emerging La Nina weather extremities presents a bullish case for agricultural products across Asia including sugar, palm oil, and rice, echoed OCBC economists in a note.

Seeing as North American winters are expected to be stronger with La Nina, SocGen recommends investing in natural gas.

Heavy rains in Australia at the same time could also impact the thermal and coking coal markets due to mine flooding, which happened during the La Nina event of 2010-11.

"This could occur again, but in the current environment, increased rainfall in Australia will also likely have an impact on the restocking of cattle and sheep herds," SocGen said.
