ll In January Amid Historic Averages in Some Provinces, La Niña to Last Until March

Bogota (Coffee Network ) -Some Colombia’s coffee plantations registered averaged rainfall in January  compared to seasonal levels for previous months of January, with the La Nina weather phenomenon likely ending in March.

Until the quarter January - March 2023, it is estimated that La Niña conditions will continue, with probabilities above 60%.  Rainfall in February is expected to be in the historic range, according to the coffee research center Cenicafe.

In January, the volume of rainfall at the provinces of Boyacá, Risaralda, Antioquia, Tolima, Cundinamarca, Quindío and Huila, was above the historical range.

But the other coffee-producing provinces of Caldas and Valle del Cauca, the volume of rain was within the historical range.

The number of days with rain greater than and equal to 0.1 mm was 21 days for the Paraguaicito coffee station, 20 days for La Catalina, 19 days for Misiones, 18 days for El Rosario, 17 days for Naranjal, 16 days for La Trinidad and Jorge Villamil and 15 days for Bertha.

The result of the water balance in the stations El Rosario, Naranjal, La Trinidad, La Catalina and Paraguaicito showed normal conditions throughout the month. At the Jorge Villamil station, presented deficit in the third week of the month.

Rainfall in Caribbean provinces were below seasonal historic averages, according to the coffee research center Cenicafe.

Rains in Colombia associated to the La Niña will continue until March when it merges with the first rainy season that runs between mid-March until June, the country’s weather office Ideam said.

For February 2023, rainfall is expected within the climatological averages recorded between 1991 and 2020. February is characterized by a noticeable reduction in rainfall in much of the North and East of Colombia, due to the presence of the Northeast trade winds, which bring dry air to these

regions of the country. In the Andean region, the volumes of precipitation decrease with respect to the previous month, but it is normal that some rains continue to occur in the center of it.

Perspective: Morning Commentary for August 11

August 11 – It was generally a quiet night for the markets until early this morning when a headline hit that Iran and Oman were close to reaching a deal. Stock futures rallied, while the dollar index followed Treasury yields lower, along with active selling in the energy- and food-based commodities. The headline had limited impact though in a world that has become skeptical of promises of peace. Stock futures remain steady to firmer at this hour, while the VIX trades near 16 – just above 2026 lows. The dollar index is trading near 99.8 this morning, after recovering from its early morning selloff over the following hour of trade. Yields on 10-year Treasuries are trading near 4.69%, while yields on 2-year Treasuries trade near 4.22%. WTI crude oil is trading near $82 per barrel at this hour, while Brent trades near $88. The grain and oilseed markets are mostly weaker, after failing to recover from this morning’s early selloff that started in the crude oil market.

Perspective: Morning Commentary for August 10

August 10 – The world commodity markets and economy remains at risk amid two wars this morning. Tensions continue to escalate in both the Middle East and the Black Sea – risking pulling other countries into the conflicts. Stocks are down modestly this morning as we start a week of trade in which we’ll see key inflation and retail sales data following a weak jobs report this past Friday. Yet, stocks continue to trade just below record high levels, with the VIX trading near 2026 lows just above 15. The dollar index is trading near 99.7. Yields on 10-year Treasuries are trading near 4.68%, while yields on 2-year Treasuries are trading near 4.23%. The energy and food-based markets are firmer today amid the escalated risks. WTI crude oil is trading near $80, while Brent trades near $85 per barrel. Double-digit gains in the winter wheat markets lead the way for higher grain and oilseed prices.
