US - Iran Conflict (Again)

[matthewfarmery]

Trump has pretty much given up on the war. His recent social media posts seem to say as much. He just bored still of it all. And doesn't seem interested in reaching any kind of deal.

Don't expect this war to end anytime soon, not until Trump is gone at least.

Most US farmers haven't got fertilizer yet. Farm fuel prices are also up.

Southern farmers are hit hardest with only 19% saying they pre-ordered fertilizer, and 78% saying they can’t afford full crop needs.

Farmers are cutting corn, shifting to soybeans and stretching inputs, raising risks to crop yields.

There will be an El Nino this year. Possibly a super El Nino that we haven't seem like in several decades.

An El Niño is expected to settle into the equatorial Pacific this summer, meaning that the 2026-2027 winter for Siouxland is expected to be warmer than average. Current forecasts are showing this El Niño to be strong, with some models showing the temperature anomaly to be between 2-3°C above average.

The strongest El Niños on record were recorded for the episodes recorded in 1997-1998 and 2014-2016. The current forecast could potentially put this El Niño episode into this echelon.

So the war is heating up again. After Israeli strikes in Lebanon, Iran is now striking US bases in Kuwait.

Apparently Trump is angry with Bibi, Bibi is angry with Lebanon and whoever is left alive in Iran is angry with....well everyone.
