SUMMARY:El Niño 2026/27 Live Session: What a Possible Strong El Niño Could Mean for Commodity Market
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nEl Niño is moving back onto the market’s radar.  \nNOAA’s ENSO outlook points to El Niño conditions developing in the coming months and potentially lasting into the Northern Hemisphere winter. The World Meteorological Organization has also flagged a high likelihood of El Niño conditions through the second half of 2026\, with implications for global temperatures\, rainfall patterns\, crop development\, and trade flows. \nThere is still uncertainty around how strong this event could become. Some forecasts point to a moderate-to-strong El Niño\, while others suggest the risk of a much stronger event. Current sea surface temperature trends are already being compared with previous major El Niño years\, including 1997/98 and 2015/16. \nFor commodity markets\, the question is not just whether El Niño develops. It is where the weather impact lands first\, how quickly it feeds into production risk\, and which supply chains are most exposed. \nJoin Expana’s live session on 25 June at 11 AM EDT / 4 PM BST\, where Expana’s specialists will give a clear read on the latest El Niño signal\, where forecasts agree and differ\, and what this could mean for key agricultural commodities\, logistics routes\, and cost pressures. \nThe session will start with the climate outlook\, then move into regional weather risks and the commodities most likely to feel the impact. \nWhat we’ll cover  \n\nHow strong could this El Niño become?\nA look at the latest sea surface temperature data\, the main forecast models\, and why agencies are not fully aligned on the potential strength of the event.\nLessons from previous El Niño years\nHow the current set-up compares with major events such as 1997/98 and 2015/16\, and what those years can \,and cannot\, tell us about the months ahead.\nRegional weather risks\n\nHow El Niño typically changes rainfall\, temperature\, storm activity\, and river levels\, and why the timing of those shifts matters for commodity markets.

SUMMARY:Positive Nutrition Broadcast Series 2026: Clean label
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nWhat’s new and next in clean label? Food and drink manufacturers are now facing government led\npressure for clean label on top of consumer demand\, with regulatory moves such as additive bans\naccelerating reformulation timelines and turning once voluntary removals into non negotiables. \nWhat’s next is fragmentation\, as brands navigate regulatory defined clean label in some markets\,\nintensifying ultra processing debates in others\, and rising pressure to prove functionality\, sustainability and\ncost competitiveness. This will make reformulation strategy\, not marketing\, the real battleground.
