12:32 pm
from washington. in terms of prices, it was a really good report for corn and soybeans reviving their estimates. what was the single biggest intervening factor? is bad you are seeing weather in brazil cutting back the estimate for their crop. their harvest is just getting underway. this is a great time of uncertainty for weather markets. we're still a ways away from the south american harvest. there is a lot of volatility. the trend is clear. because you see dry weather in south america -- while the u.s. crop sizes uncertaint, the belief is that people will want to buy it. scarlet: i wonder if this is because of el niño or the transition -- hopefully, as a lot of people predict -- to la niña. alix: what will happen to the
12:33 pm
u.s. crop if we do see la niña hit later in the summer? >> if you get another set of dryness, you are still not going to see inventory decline to the 2012 levels. anything that cuts down pretty high stockpiles will push the margin.ice back into a how that plays into cattle markets, consumer markets, that is all stuff we see unfold this summer. the projections for the united states is potentially bullish. alix: what is the quality of the crop in the u.s.? >> the quality is looking good. keyave not yet hit the points of the growing season when you start to see the maturity of the crop. for that reason, you did not see the usda mentioned changes to
12:34 pm
the size of the crops. it was all on the demand size that they were making changes. scarlet: we just flashed up their how corn and soybean prices are reacting today. why are we seeing a decline? >> sometimes it is a matter of how much a market has over anticipated or oversold on a particular item. you see a little bit of that happening in the week or get -- wheat market. it is seen by far a record yield. croptill have a 10% larger than last year. these reports have all sorts of nuances. because of the time and here we are in, it is a very volatile report. soybeans withsee the major run-up into coffee. it makes sense that we see a little bit of price action come up. the question is, when you have a
12:35 pm
drought, it can really damage the crop for years to come. niña, what is la the longer-term effect on the u.s. crop? >> it really depends on what happens this year. a crop can bounce back year to year pretty well. in the meantime, what has happened to the structure of the market. are you needing to rebuild or is it something that you can rebound quickly? to farmers have to sell their cattle because the feed got more expensive? if so, what does that do down the line? you have many factors at play. in 2012, we saw increasingly higher prices. but, we have had a couple of years of rebuilding. we not quite in that situation yet. we are definitely leading to higher inventories which means higher prices and some kind of supply response. the question is what baseline will it be starting from?

12:38 pm
selloff across the board. in 2015 and early 2016, we're seeing a take rally in the entire commodity complex. the underlying fundamentals story is that they are putting their backs against the corner and have to stay the course of easy money and eventually global demand will kick in and we will see these commodities improve. scarlet: it is not just knee-jerk reaction. the dollar gained in may and so did commodities such as gold and copper. why was that? >> what is happening now is a little bit of a decoupling between the u.s. dollar and other commodities. extremely were undervalued. remember, commodities, unlike stocks, cannot go to zero. that is an intrinsic value that
12:39 pm
