The US has grains and ore. China India and SE Asia standard of living is rising = they will eat more meat = need more grains. (4 to 7 pounds of grain for 1 pound of meat) Sea freight prices are very high, UDX is 27% or so lower from 2001 = less imports and more local manufacturing of semi finished goods. All in all it adds to the natural tendency of recovery - immigration is still alive in the US and as such consumption, housing ect. is growing.
