Summary

ACP Advisory A-29-2026 (20 August 2026) explicitly ties reduced Canal watershed precipitation to El Niño: May–August hydrological year rainfall 34% below historical average; watershed inflows 44% below. Slot cuts: Neopanamax daily slots → 9; Panamax → 25 then 23. A-33-2026 (4 Sep) keeps draft 14.63 m until further notice. Break = rainy-season catch-up. No clean US-listed pure-play (CPKC sold Panama Canal Railway stake Apr 2025). Do not invent tickers.

Auction clearing vs 2023–24: press records only until ACP primary series pulled — honest gap
Break: rainy catch-up → Gatun recovery
