#1 U.S. oil net exports to China averaged about 435,000 barrels a day in 2017, more than double a year earlier, when they averaged about 180,000 barrels a day, according to a Citigroup Inc. report dated April 3. The notional dollar value rose even faster — at a rate of 200 percent — to about $8.24 billion last year, the bank said.

China bought about 750 million cubic feet a day worth of American LNG in the fourth quarter, the most of any country, according to U.S. government data.

#5 Gorb the soybeans are not planted yet. The global warming has left most of the US MidWest still in winter. Perhaps hops will be planted and some barley.

Spengler is a smart guy who's made interesting observations. But his most accurate predictions are those about the past.
