Floods in Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul have sparked a number of online conspiracy theories. Jefferson Bernardes/Getty Images"What's happening in Rio Grande do Sul is definitely not natural," one user wrote on X. Advertisementvapor trails — "chemtrails" — spread by the government and then activated by HAARP antennas in Alaska to alter the weather, AFP reported. In the 1990s, a conspiracy theory evolved that they contained dangerous chemicals purposely put in the trails.

☆ Corn hits 3-month high; soy, wheat climb on global crop weather woes

Wheat futures hit a one-week high on renewed concerns over dry weather in Russia, the world's biggest wheat supplier. In Argentina, corn stunt disease spread by leaf-cutter insects and adverse weather prompted the Buenos Aires grains exchange to slash its estimate for Argentina's 2023/24 corn harvest by 3 millions metric tons to 46.5 tons. In wheat, Russia's IKAR agricultural consultancy cut its forecast for the country's crop to 91 million metric tons from 93 million tons and its wheat exports to 50.5 million metric tons from 52 million tons. Wheat futures jumped as weather forecasts showed the region getting virtually no rain in the coming two weeks. Managed money funds held a net short position in CBOT wheat futures at the beginning of 2024 because of a strong dollar and slow U.S. demand, Zuzolo said.
