I’d watch sugar, palm oil and agricultural commodities first. They’re already showing strength, so the key is whether weather disruptions translate into lower production and tighter inventories. That would make the move more fundamental than a short-term expectations trade.

I’d then watch fertilizer and agricultural inputs. If crop prices remain elevated, stronger farm economics could support planting and fertilizer demand. I’d want to see this confirmed by planting data and earnings.

Ultimately, food-company margins would be the biggest signal for me. If higher commodity costs persist and companies start flagging input-cost pressure, it would suggest agricultural inflation is spreading into the broader economy. That’s when I’d take the El Niño theme much more seriously.

  • Fertilizer demand probably needs an inventory check first. If dealer stocks stay high, elevated crop prices may not translate into a real restock cycle yet
