  • Jim Rogers: U.S. Housing Is Among `Biggest Bubbles'

    Aug. 3 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. subprime-market rout
    that wiped out $2.1 trillion from global share values
    last week has ``got a long way to go,'' said Jim
    Rogers, who predicted the start of the commodities
    rally in 1999. ``This was one of the biggest bubbles
    we've ever had in credit,'' Rogers, said in an interview
    from Hong Kong.

    Sugar Gains on Speculation Rain Slowing Brazil Harvest

    Rainfall is ``likely'' to have delayed the sugar cane
    harvest in Sao Paulo, U.S. weather forecaster
    Meteorlogix LLC said in a July 27 report. Record
    prices last year spurred cane farmers in India and
    Brazil, the top producers, to boost plantings.

    Australia: Barley prices rise and rise

    Barley prices this week have soared on the back of
    problems with the French barley harvest, continued
    drought and political interference from the Black Sea
    region. Australian barley exports are forecast to reach
    around 5.3mt, a 73pc increase.

    New Zealand Sheep Flock Falls -Drought Forces Slaughter

    New Zealand's sheep population dropped 2.4 percent
    to a 10-year low as farmers culled flocks because of a
    drought on the North Island's east coast. The national
    flock in New Zealand, the world's biggest exporter of
    sheep meat, fell to 39.1 million, from 40.1 million last
    year and 46.1 million in 1997.
