My video (link below) was actually recorded on August 7th. We inadvertently posted an older video for you last week, so we are re-posting the correct one today.
In order to fire you up, and be prepared to watch my video….here are some “stills” to put you in the mood….you don't want to miss this, so click the link at the bottom.
While an Atlantic hurricane can sometimes influence commodity markets, such as crude oil, natural gas, and cotton. Of course, it could have a multi-billion dollar effect on the US economy, as well. In the video (above), I discuss the teleconnections (such as El Niño and rising Global Atmospheric Angular Momentum) that may well prevent any major impact on the US this coming autumn. In addition, I briefly mention the 2006 analog and its potential impact on specific agricultural futures markets.
