1) Stratospheric warming: What is it ?  How, with a weak La Niña, frequent Midwest & Northeast cold and snow events are creating a spike in natural gas futures.

2) Why wheat has remained in a bear market: However, we will have to watch whether extreme cold in the Midwest and La Niña kick in to cause global weather problems later on. Right now global wheat crop conditions are generally good.

3) The volatility in corn & soybeans: Mixed news about China’s demand vs. generally good South American weather has caused confusion among traders in this market. What’s next?

So… how does one trade this market? Futures, options or ETFs? That is where our WeatherWealth newsletter comes in, helping traders and producers around the world.
